README

Automate your AppID Adoption by using this integration together with your Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall or Panorama.
This integration was integrated and tested with version 8 up to version 10.1.6 and version 10.2.0 of PAN-OS Policy Optimizer.
Moved to beta due to the lack of a formal API.

Configure PAN-OS Policy Optimizer (Beta) in Cortex

Parameter Required
Server URL (e.g., https://192.168.0.1:443) True
Username True
Password True
Vsys - Firewall instances only False
Device Group - Panorama instances only False
PAN-OS Version (The exact version, e.g., 10.1.4, 1.1, 9) False
Trust any certificate (not secure) False
Use system proxy settings False

Commands

You can execute these commands from the CLI, as part of an automation, or in a playbook.
After you successfully execute a command, a DBot message appears in the War Room with the command details.
