How collection works

Follow the device read, local processing, delivery and analysis.

The collection journey

  1. Read locally

    The app reads the management interface from your workstation.

  2. Prepare the configuration

    Supported secret fields are removed locally before upload. See data handling.

  3. Deliver to your workspace

    The workspace token authorizes upload to ConfigProof.

  4. Start analysis

    Prepared deliveries normally start analysis automatically; complete any destination or context selection requested by the result.

Choose a device or a manager

TargetWhy it matters
PAN-OS firewallRead this firewall, including device identity and the available configuration state.
Panorama / SCM / other managerRead management hierarchy and available managed-device data. A manager snapshot does not automatically prove every device is running that policy.
Identity platformRead policies, objects and platform configuration through the platform APIs.
Switch or gateway OSRead configuration and permitted operational output via the selected management method.

Two independent credentials

Vendor credentials authenticate to the device or cloud vendor. The cpc_ token authorizes delivery to ConfigProof. Keep both limited to the collection window.
