Panorama 9.x or 10.x Log Forwarding and Accountability

Overview

For general information about sending syslogs, see Sending Additional Information using Syslog.

Panorama log forwarding requires you to do the following:

• Forward traffic logs to Panorama: We recommend that traffic logs from PanOS firewalls be sent to Panorama devices that are connected to TOS Aurora. However, TOS Aurora can also receive logs from PanOS firewall devices directly.
• Enable accountability: Enabling accountability ensures that firewall changes made by SecureChange and manual firewall changes made using Panorama are seen by SecureTrack.

For more information, see the Palo Alto Networks technical documentation site:

• For PanOS 9: Configure Log Forwarding and Device > Server Profiles > Syslog

• For PanOS 10: Configure Log Forwarding and Device > Server Profiles > Syslog
