Which path will generate a stats dump file on a palo alto networks next-generation firewall (ngfw)?

This Integration is part of the Palo Alto Networks Automatic SLR Pack.#

Use the Palo Alto Networks NGFW API to automatically generate a Security Lifecycle Review [SLR] Report.

Configure Automatic SLR on XSOAR#

1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Utilities.

2. Search for "Palo Alto Networks Automatic SLR.

3. Click Add instance to create and configure a new integration instance.

   Requested By	Set the email address of the person who generated the report
   Send To	Set the email address of the receipient who will receive the report

1. Click Test to validate integration can communicate with the firewall.

NOTE: The test command does not function when Enable Verbose Output is set to enabled/true.

Step-by-step configuration#

This section will cover how to retrieve the Palo Alto Networks Customer Support Portal [CSP] and PAN-OS API key's

Firewall API Key#

A firewall "Super User" or administrator with a custom "Admin Role" limiting their interaction with the API is required to complete these steps.

This integration requires an API Key for the target firewall in order to run the neccesary API commands. In order to retireve that API Key either:

Run this command from a terminal, replacing , and as needed -

curl -k -X GET '///api/?type=keygen&user=&password='

Or

curl -k -X POST '///api/?type=keygen&user=&password='

Alternatively, open a browser window and navigate to: ///api/?type=keygen&user=&password=

How-to generate an API Key: //docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-0/pan-os-panorama-api/get-started-with-the-pan-os-xml-api/get-your-api-key.html

Customer Support Portal [CSP] API Key#

A Customer Support Portal "Super User" is required to complete these steps.

1. Ensure you have the "Super User" role assigned to your account by logging in to the CSP, then navigating to: Support Home > Members > Manage Users Under the "Roles" column you should have "Super User" assigned.

2. Once you have the correct role assigned to your user, navigate to: Support Home > Assets > Licensing API

3. If a key already exists, it will be displayed to you. We will use this key in the integration configuration.

4. If a key does exist, click Generate to generate a new API key

NOTE: Pay attention to the expiry date and extend/regenerate the key as neccesary.
