Prisma Access Sync Status
On the
Overview
page, you can quickly check status for your
Prisma Access configurations. If you see something unexpected, drill down to
identify the impacted configuration. Here are statuses you might see:
Configuration has not been pushed
—So far, no configuration has been
pushed to Prisma Access.
This configuration is empty
—A user pushed a blank configuration to
Prisma Access. In this case, a configuration was previously in place, so the
push to Prisma Access might have been to remove the configuration. Go to
Push Config
Jobs
to review recent changes.
Out of sync
—A user has pushed a configuration to Prisma Access but
there is an error or warning related to the push. This might be a
configuration issue or it might be an issue related to the push to Prisma
Access.
In sync
—The latest configuration push to Prisma Access was successful,
and there are no errors.
If you see something unexpected, click on the status to open a map view that shows
the locations where you have either mobile users (GlobalProtect or explicit proxy
connections), remote networks, or service connections. You can then pinpoint the
configuration that requires review or where you might need to make an update.
