Set Up the Panorama Virtual Appliance
The Panorama virtual appliance enables you to use your
existing VMware virtual infrastructure to centrally manage and monitor
Palo Alto Networks firewalls and Dedicated Log Collectors. You can
install the virtual appliance on an ESXi server, Amazon Web Services
(AWS), AWS GovCloud, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP),
KVM, Hyper-V, or in vCloud Air. In addition to or instead of deploying
Dedicated Log Collectors, you can forward firewall logs directly
to the Panorama virtual appliance. For greater log storage capacity
and faster reporting, you have the option to switch the virtual
appliance from Legacy mode to Panorama mode and configure a local
Log Collector. For more details about the Panorama virtual appliance
and its modes, see Panorama
Models.
These topics assume you are familiar with the public and
private hypervisor products required to create the virtual appliance,
and don’t cover any related concepts or terminology.
