Collect a PAN-OS firewall

Read a firewall locally and deliver its configuration with the current collector.

On this page

Prepare

Prepare PAN-OS credentials, a workspace token and reachable management HTTPS address.

Configure the collector

  1. Choose the source

    Select Firewall or Panorama.

  2. Enter the firewall address

    Use the management hostname or IP; start with one firewall.

  3. Select API (HTTPS)

    Enter the dedicated account or XML API key.

  4. Add the workspace token

    Paste the active cpc_ token.

  5. Continue and review

    Check the workspace and planned read, then start.

API and SSH are not interchangeable

PAN-OS SSH reads identity over SSH but exports configuration through the HTTPS XML API. Both paths must be reachable.

Review the result

Check read and delivery outcomes, then open the analysis. For inherited context, see Panorama.
