Deploy Strata Logging Service with Panorama

Use Panorama™ to onboard a large-scale firewall deployment to Strata Logging Service.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • NGFW (Managed by PAN-OS or Panorama)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
  • Strata Logging Service
Palo Alto Networks firewalls send logs directly to Strata Logging Service. However, you can use Panorama™ to onboard firewalls to Strata Logging Service at scale instead of onboarding individual firewalls. Strata Logging Service onboarding includes provisioning the certificates that firewalls need to securely connect to Strata Logging Service, configuring device groups and templates with the right settings, and then pushing those settings to managed firewalls. When you’re done, you can use Panorama to view records for the logs that are stored in Strata Logging Service (or you can use the Explore app to view and interact with your logs).
If you’re using Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama), you must use Panorama to onboard firewalls to Strata Logging Service.
You can onboard up to 20 Panorama appliances to a Strata Logging Service instance. However, if you’re using Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama), only one Panorama appliance that is managing Prisma Access can be associated with a Strata Logging Service instance at a time. If such a Panorama appliance is already associated with your instance when you add a Panorama appliance, you will not be able to select another appliance that is managing Prisma Access.
Before you begin, ensure that you meet these requirements. You’ll need:
  • A Panorama virtual appliance or hardware-based Panorama appliance running a supported PAN-OS version.
  • A Panorama device management license.
  • A supported version of the Cloud Services plugin. See the configuration for your PAN-OS version to find out how to install.
  • Next-generation firewalls with a valid support license that are managed by Panorama and that are running a supported PAN-OS version.
  • A Strata Logging Service license (in addition to the device management license for Panorama). When you license Strata Logging Service, all firewalls registered to your support account receive a Strata Logging Service license. You can then use Panorama templates and device groups to configure the firewalls to forward logs to Strata Logging Service.
    The Strata Logging Service license provisions the service in one theater or region only. If you want the firewalls that belong to one template to send logs to one theater and the firewalls that belong to another template to send logs to a different theater, you need two Panorama appliances and two Strata Logging Service licenses.
  • Consider that a Panorama™ appliance or firewall running PAN-OS® 9.1 and earlier versions cannot connect to Strata Logging Service from behind a proxy (Strata Logging Service requires mutual authentication). You can, however, enable proxy communication on PAN-OS 10.0 and later versions:
