Firewalls

If you haven’t done so already,
Activate
Strata Logging Service
and
onboard firewalls to
Strata Logging Service
.
In
Strata Logging Service
app, click
Inventory > Firewall
and enable
store log data
if you want to store logs from firewall.
Specify the log types to forward to
Strata Logging Service
.
To forward System, Configuration, User-ID, and HIP Match logs:

Select

Device

Log Settings

.

For each log type that you want to forward to

Strata Logging Service

,

Add

a match list filter. Give it a

Name

, optionally define a

Filter

, select

Logging Service

, and click

OK

.



To forward log types that are generated when a policy match occurs—Traffic, Threat, WildFire

®

Submission, URL Filtering, Data Filtering, and Authentication logs—create and attach a Log Forwarding profile to each policy rule for which you want to forward logs.

Select

Objects

Log Forwarding

to

Add

a profile. In the log forwarding profile match list, add each log type that you want to forward.



If you enabled the Enhanced Application Logs feature, then fully

Enable enhanced application logging to

Strata Logging Service

on the firewall to forward these log types. When you enable this feature, the match lists that specify the log types required for enhanced application logging are automatically added to the profile.

Select

Logging Service

as the Forward Method to enable the firewalls in the device group to forward the logs to

Strata Logging Service

. You can monitor the logs and generate reports from Panorama.

If you haven’t already done so, create basic Security policy rules.

Until the firewall has interfaces and zones and a basic Security policy, it will not let any traffic through and, by default, only traffic that matches a Security policy rule will be logged.

For each rule you create, select

Actions

and select the Log Forwarding profile that allows the firewall to send logs to

Strata Logging Service

.


(
PA-7000 Series firewalls only
) Configure a log card interface to perform log forwarding.
As of PAN-OS 10.1, you can no longer forward system logs using the Management interface or using service routes through the Data Plane interfaces. The only way to forward system logs from a PA-7000 Series firewall running PAN-OS 10.1 or later is by configuring a Log Forwarding Card (LFC).
Select
Network

and click
Add Interface
.
Select the

and
Interface Name
.
Set the
Interface Type
to
Log Card
.
Enter the
IP Address
,
Default Gateway
, and (
for IPv4 only
)
Netmask
.
Select
Advanced
and specify the
Link Speed
,
Link Duplex
, and
Link State
.
These fields default to
auto
, which specifies that the firewall automatically determines the values based on the connection. However, the minimum recommended
Link Speed
for any connection is
1000
(Mbps).
