NAT Source Port (natsport) | Post-NAT source port. |
NAT Destination Port (natdport) | Post-NAT destination port. |

this field can be decoded by AND-ing the values with the logged
value:
|
IP Protocol (proto) | IP protocol associated with the session. |
Action (action) | Action taken for the session; values are
alert, allow, deny, drop, drop-all-packets, reset-client, reset-server,
reset-both, block-url.
|
URL/Filename (misc) | Field with variable length. A Filename has
a maximum of 63 characters. A URL has a maximum of 1023 characters The
actual URI when the subtype is url File name or file type
when the subtype is file File name when the subtype is virus File
name when the subtype is wildfire-virus File name when the
subtype is wildfire URL or File name when the subtype is vulnerability
if applicable URL when Threat Category is domain-edl Spoofed
SNI domain when a host header mismatch is detected (identified by
a unique threat ID of 86467). |
Threat/Content Name (threatid) | Palo Alto Networks identifier for known
and custom threats. It is a description string followed by a 64-bit
numerical identifier in parentheses for some Subtypes:
If
the Domain EDL field
is populated, then this field is populated with the same value. Threat
ID ranges for virus detection, WildFire signature feed, and DNS
C2 signatures used in previous releases have been replaced with
permanent, globally unique IDs. Refer to the Threat/Content Type
(subtype) and Threat Category (thr_category) field names to create
updated reports, filter threat logs, and ACC activity. |
Category (category) | For URL Subtype, it is the URL Category;
For WildFire subtype, it is the verdict on the file and is either
‘malware’, ‘phishing’, ‘grayware’, or ‘benign’; For other subtypes,
the value is ‘any’. |
Severity (severity) | Severity associated with the threat; values
are informational, low, medium, high, critical. |
Direction (direction) | Indicates the direction of the attack, client-to-server
or server-to-client:
|
Sequence Number (seqno) | A 64-bit log entry identifier incremented
sequentially. Each log type has a unique number space. |
Action Flags (actionflags) | A bit field indicating if the log was forwarded
to Panorama. |
Source Country (srcloc) | Source country or Internal region for private
addresses. Maximum length is 32 bytes. |
Destination Country (dstloc) | Destination country or Internal region for
private addresses. Maximum length is 32 bytes. |
Content Type (contenttype) | Applicable only when Subtype is URL. Content
type of the HTTP response data. Maximum length 32 bytes. |
PCAP ID (pcap_id) | The packet capture (pcap) ID is a 64 bit
unsigned integral denoting an ID to correlate threat pcap files
with extended pcaps taken as a part of that flow. All threat logs
will contain either a pcap_id of 0 (no associated pcap), or an ID
referencing the extended pcap file. |
File Digest (filedigest) | Only for WildFire subtype; all other types
do not use this field The filedigest string shows the binary
hash of the file sent to be analyzed by the WildFire service. |
Cloud (cloud) | Only for WildFire subtype; all other types
do not use this field. The cloud string displays the FQDN
of either the WildFire appliance (private) or the WildFire cloud
(public) from where the file was uploaded for analysis. |
URL Index (url_idx) | Used in URL Filtering and WildFire subtypes. When
an application uses TCP keepalives to keep a connection open for
a length of time, all the log entries for that session have a single
session ID. In such cases, when you have a single threat log (and
session ID) that includes multiple URL entries, the url_idx is a counter
that allows you to correlate the order of each log entry within the
single session. For example, to learn the URL of a file that
the firewall forwarded to WildFire for analysis, locate the session
ID and the url_idx from the WildFire Submissions log and search
for the same session ID and url_idx in your URL filtering logs.
The log entry that matches the session ID and url_idx will contain
the URL of the file that was forwarded to WildFire. |
User Agent (user_agent) | Only for the URL Filtering subtype; all
other types do not use this field. The User Agent field specifies
the web browser that the user used to access the URL, for example
Internet Explorer. This information is sent in the HTTP request
to the server. |
File Type (filetype) | Only for WildFire subtype; all other types
do not use this field. Specifies the type of file that the
firewall forwarded for WildFire analysis. |
X-Forwarded-For (xff) | Only for the URL Filtering subtype; all
other types do not use this field. The X-Forwarded-For field
in the HTTP header contains the IP address of the user who requested
the web page. It allows you to identify the IP address of the user,
which is useful particularly if you have a proxy server on your
network that replaces the user IP address with its own address in
the source IP address field of the packet header. Based
on different appliance implementations, the XFF field may contain
non-IP address values. |
Referer (referer) | Only for the URL Filtering subtype; all
other types do not use this field. The Referer field in the
HTTP header contains the URL of the web page that linked the user
to another web page; it is the source that redirected (referred)
the user to the web page that is being requested. |
Sender (sender) | Specifies the name of the sender of an email. |
Subject (subject) | Specifies the subject of an email. |
Recipient (recipient) | Specifies the name of the receiver of an
email. |
Report ID (reportid) | Only for Data Filtering and WildFire subtype;
all other types do not use this field. Identifies the analysis
request on the firewall, WildFire cloud, or the WildFire appliance. |
Device Group Hierarchy (dg_hier_level_1
to dg_hier_level_4) | A sequence of identification numbers that
indicate the device group’s location within a device group hierarchy.
The firewall (or virtual system) generating the log includes the
identification number of each ancestor in its device group hierarchy.
The shared device group (level 0) is not included in this structure. If
the log values are 12, 34, 45, 0, it means that the log was generated
by a firewall (or virtual system) that belongs to device group 45,
and its ancestors are 34, and 12. To view the device group names
that correspond to the value 12, 34 or 45, use one of the following
methods: API query:
|

with the session; only valid on firewalls enabled for multiple virtual
systems. |
