Strata Logging Service and Panorama licenses
must be procured outside of Cloud NGFW for Azure integration. This integration
does not automatically grant licenses for using the Strata Logging Service
within Panorama.
If you're using Panorama and are not using Strata Logging
Service for log collection, you can forward logs to another entity, however, you
must enable Strata Logging Service in your logging profile.
For information about the log fields, see the Strata Logging Service Schema
Reference: Traffic, Threat, and Decryption.
Important Considerations
For existing customers who have already deployed the Cloud NGFW in Azure and would
like to use Strata Logging Service:
