Each of these licenses include access to Strata Cloud Manager:
The other licenses and prerequisites needed to access certain Dashboards are:
  • Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS)
  • ADEM Observability
  • A role that has permission to view the dashboard
  • Strata Logging Service
→ The features and capabilities available to you in Strata Cloud Manager depend on which license(s) you are using.
Strata Cloud Manager provides insights into your network activity, granular and actionable security information to protect from vulnerabilities and unauthorized access, management insights on network health, performance, and administrative tasks.

Insights: Dashboards and Reports

Strata Cloud Manager supports some of these insights with a set of interactive dashboards that give you a comprehensive view of the applications, ION devices, threats, users, and security subscriptions at work in your network. The dashboards provide visibility into the health, security posture, and activity happening in your deployment that helps you to prevent or address performance and security gaps in your network. Dashboard support extends across the Palo Alto Networks products and subscriptions that are supported for cloud management, and from other sources as well, including Traps, Cortex XDR, Prisma SaaS, and Proofpoint. The data you see often depends on your subscription. You can review each dashboard topic to see what the license requirements are for that dashboard, if role permissions might impact what data is visible, and to learn about the different types of data that each subscription unlocks.
You can access dashboards from the Insights menu on the left navigation pane. You can also build your own dashboard using the Build My Dashboard option. Some of the dashboards also have the option to download and share reports that you can share offline and schedule for regular updates. To see if reports are supported for a dashboard, check for these icons:
Additionally, you can use the report templates in the Reports menu to download, share, and schedule reports on specific activity such as User Activity, Network Usage, and so on.

Integrate with Cloud Identity Engine

We recommend setting up Cloud Identity Engine (Directory Sync) to get the most out of dashboards. Cloud Identity Engine is a free Palo Alto Networks app that gives other apps read-only access to your Active Directory information, and enables you to:
  • Get User Activity data—Cloud Identity Engine enables you to specify the user for whom you want to run a report.
  • Easily and securely share reports with other members of your organization—After Cloud Identity Engine is set up, you can easily add recipients to a scheduled report. Your report recipients are checked against Cloud Identity Engine, and if no match is found, it performs an additional validation by checking the email address domain against those associated with your support account. This process ensures that reports are only sent to individuals within your organization.
Integrated apps must be deployed in the same region. At any time, you can go to the hub to integrate Cloud Identity Engine with Prisma Access or Directory Sync. ➡ Integrate Palo Alto Networks apps

SaaS Risk Assessment
Prisma Access (Panorama Managed)* -
  • For Prisma Access (Panorama managed) users with Strata Logging Service hosted in the non-Americas region, you need to provide consent to allow Prisma Access to read and process data from the Strata Logging Service in the non-Americas region. Review and accept the privacy notice on the Dashboard home page to provide your consent and view more dashboards and logs. Only app, instance, and account administrators can see and accept the privacy notice.
  • Dashboards are not supported in Prisma Access (Panorama managed) multi-tenant environment.
Yes*—Yes means all versions of Prisma Access and PAN-OS are supported.
Yes**—In the multitenant platform, tenants are identified as tenant service groups (TSGs) and assigned with TSG ID. A single or multiple tenants can be associated per Customer Support Portal (CSP). The data shown in the dashboard depends on the following scenarios:
  • Your app from which you access the dashboard needs to be TSG supported and accessed through the SASE platform or the tenant view on the hub.
  • You have associated devices with your tenant using Common Services in the hub.
  • Verify if your tenants have one-to-one or many-to-one mapping with CSP.
    • If your tenants have one-to-one mapping with CSP, you can view dashboard data across all sources (for example, in WildFire dashboard, data across samples from Palo Alto Networks firewalls, Prisma Access, Cortex XDR, Prisma SaaS, Proofpoint and manual uploads are shown).
    • If multiple tenants are associated per CSP, the dashboard shows data from only Prisma Access, Palo Alto Networks firewalls, and Panorama appliances associated with specific tenants and not from other sources.
AIOps for NGFW*—The dashboards available in AIOps for NGFW depend on whether you have a Free or Premium license tier.
