Manual export

Export Panorama by hand

Upload Panorama's own configuration as a management model.

On this page

Export the configuration

In the web interface: Panorama > Setup > Operations > Export named Panorama configuration snapshot, and choose running-config.xml. From the CLI:

Panorama CLI
set cli pager off
set cli config-output-format xml
show config running

Save the CLI output as one .txt file, with the show config running line directly above the XML and only plain text around it.

Add the serial with show system info

After the upload is parsed, paste the output of this command in Verify Panorama identity (optional). The hostname must match the file.

Panorama CLI
show system info

What the upload is read for

  • Device groups and their hierarchy, shared objects and policy, pre-rulebase and post-rulebase.
  • Templates, template stacks in their member order, and variables.
  • The firewall serials Panorama lists under its managed devices.
  • From the pasted show system info: serial, model and the full software version.

A Panorama export is a management-model analysis. It is not the effective configuration of a managed firewall: export that firewall with the PAN-OS guide.

Upload

  1. Open New analysis

    Choose File upload and select the file, or choose Paste, paste the output and select Upload and parse.

  2. It is sent at once

    One file per upload. ConfigProof reads the vendor and export type from the content, not the file name, then asks the client, project and name. If your role is limited to certain clients, choose the client first.

  3. Answer the picker if asked

    A file that holds several VDOMs, contexts, virtual systems or gateways opens a picker. Each one you choose is its own analysis.
