Schedule a Configuration Push to Managed Firewalls
Schedule a configuration push to managed firewalls
Reduce the operational overhead
of pushing configuration changes to managed firewalls by creating
a scheduled configuration push to automatically push changes to your
managed firewalls on a specified date and time. You can configure
a scheduled configuration push to either occur once or on a regularly
occurring schedule. This allows you to push configuration made by
multiple administrators to multiple firewalls without the need for
involvement of any administrator. A scheduled configuration push
is supported for a target managed firewall running any PAN-OS release.
Superusers
and custom Panorama admins with an appropriately defined admin role profile can
create a scheduled configuration push to managed firewalls. To create
a scheduled configuration push, you set the schedule parameters
of when and how frequently a push occurs and to which managed firewalls
to push to. For a Panorama in a high availability (HA) configuration,
the scheduled configuration push is synchronized across the HA peers.
If you create multiple scheduled configuration
pushes, you must create them at a minimum of a 5 minute interval
to allow for the Panorama management server to validate the configuration.
Scheduled configuration pushes that are within 5 minutes of each
other may fail due to Panorama being unable to validate the first scheduled
configuration push changes.
Panorama performs the scheduled device group and template configuration push to managed firewalls
if the

Commit Status is out-of-sync
. After a successful
scheduled configuration push occurs, you can view the scheduled configuration push
execution history to understand when the last push for a specific schedule occurred,
and how many managed firewalls were impacted. From the total number of impacted
managed firewalls, you can view how many configuration pushes to managed firewalls
were successful and how many failed. Of the failed pushes, you can view the total
number of managed firewalls with automatically reverted configurations due to a
configuration change that interrupted the connection between the managed firewall
and Panorama.- Create a scheduled configuration push.

- Configure name and frequency of the scheduled configuration push.
- Name—Name of the configuration push schedule.
- Admin Scope—The admin for which the configuration changes will be pushed.The name of the logged in admin creating the scheduled config push is displayed by default. Click the admin name to add more Panorama admins to the scheduled config push.
- Date—Date on which the configuration push is scheduled to occur next.
- Time—Time (hh:mm:ss) at which the configuration push is scheduled to occur on the scheduled configuration pushDate.
- Recurrence—Whether the scheduled configuration push is a one time push or a recurring scheduled push (monthly,weekly, ordaily).
- In the Push Scope Selection, select one or more device groups, templates, or template stacks.You must select at least one device group, template, or template stack to successfully schedule a config push.All managed firewalls associated with the selected device groups, templates, or template stacks are included in the scheduled config push.
- Select one or moreDevice Groupsyou want to schedule to push.
- Select one or moreTemplatesyou want to schedule to push.Up to 64 templates are supported for a single scheduled configuration push.
- Verify whether toMerge with Device Candidate configto merge the configuration changes pushed from Panorama with any pending configuration changes implemented locally on the firewall.This setting is enabled by default.
- Verify whether toInclude Device and Network Templatesto push both device group changes and the associate template changes in a single operation.This setting is enabled by default. If disabled, Panorama pushes the device group and associated template changes as separate operations.
Force Template Valuesis not supported for a scheduled configuration push to prevent outages during off hours caused by a configuration push that overwrites the local firewall configuration. - ClickOK.

Of the total number of impacted firewalls, you can view how many scheduled configuration pushes were successful, how many failed, and how many of the managed firewalls automatically reverted their configuration due to a configuration change that caused a disconnect between the managed firewall on Panorama.
