In PAN-OS, GlobalProtect logs have a dedicated page that enables you to view GlobalProtect events in one place. The dedicated GlobalProtect log category eliminates the need for using complex log queries to locate GlobalProtect logs. You can also sort, filter, and query the GlobalProtect logs.
The GlobalProtect log page displays information that includes the authentication method. The following screenshot shows an example of logs in the MonitorLogsGlobalProtect page; note the Auth Method of SAML.
However, GlobalProtect authentication event logs remain in MonitorLogsSystem.
The GP source zone in traffic logs only reflects post-tunnel, established VPN connections using the client's assigned private (tunnel) IP address. It does not capture pre-authentication or pre-tunnel connection attempts. To identify a client's public IP address before the VPN tunnel is established, filter traffic logs using the portal or gateway IP as the destination rather than the GP zone as the source, as described in identifying a client's public IP before tunnel establishment.
To audit all GlobalProtect app disable events, filter system logs using ( eventid eq gateway-agent-msg ). To identify ticket-based disables specifically, look for method:with-ticket in the Comment field of the results.
