Integrating Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS

Before configuring the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS log collection, you must have the IP Address of the USM Appliance Sensor.

To configure PAN-OS to send log data to USM Appliance

  1. Configure PAN-OS to output events in Common Event Format (CEF). See the PAN-OS CEF Configuration Guide for instructions.

    Note: The vendor documentation references ArcSight, but it applies to USM Anywhere as well.

  2. Add a syslog server profile. See the PAN-OS Administrator's Guide on Configure Syslog Monitoring for instructions.

    • For Syslog Server, enter the IP address of the USM Appliance Sensor.
    • Select the transport protocol you want to use. USM Appliance supports UDP and TCP.
    • The port number depends on the transport protocol you choose. Use 514 for UDP or TCP.
  3. Configure syslog forwarding on PAN-OS. See the PAN-OS Administrator's Guide on Configure Log Forwarding for instructions.
