Log Viewer provides a centralized interface to view and interact with log records collected by your Palo Alto Networks devices and stored in Strata Logging Service. It provides the same capabilities as the standalone Strata Logging Service Explore app, and serves as an audit trail for system, configuration, and network events.
With Log Viewer, you can:
  • Retrieve logs—Access log records by specifying log type and time range.
  • Query and filter—Use a query builder with auto suggestions and supported field values to narrow results. Filter by column headings and save frequently used queries.
  • View log details—Examine detailed information for each log entry.
  • Export logs—Export all log types to a compressed CSV file in GZ format. Exported logs are always in UTC.
  • Organize views—Customize column display in the log table and save preferred settings, including time range, saved queries, and Directory Sync Service instance.
  • Troubleshoot—Investigate security events and identify issues.
  • Contextual access—Jump directly from dashboards to relevant logs, with queries pre-filtered for context.
  • AI-assisted workflows—Use Strata Copilot to act on Log Viewer search queries. You can prompt Strata Copilot to search for IOCs, search the configuration, navigate to areas in Strata Cloud Manager, mark apps as sanctioned, and quarantine devices.
