You already connected SaaS Security Inline with Strata Logging Service as part of your SaaS Security Inline activation for NGFW, VM-Series, or Prisma Access. However, if you need to update SaaS Security Inline with a new Strata Logging Service after activation, contact Palo Alto Networks customer support.
When your Strata Logging Service is configured to receive logs from your Palo Alto Networks NGFW , after activation, SaaS Security Inline discovers all SaaS apps and users.
SaaS Security Inline discovers users by using Strata Logging Service logs, specifically the source_user_info field. If the firewall forwards a log to Strata Logging Service and this field is not populated for a given user, SaaS Security Inline considers that user unknown. SaaS Security excludes all app usage data for unknown users.
  • If you created this connection in advance or at the time of SaaS Security Inline activation for NGFW, VM-Series, or Prisma Access, the connection status indicates Monitoring.
  • If the connection message indicates Not Connected, contact Palo Alto Networks customer support to manually add the Strata Logging Service serial number.
  • If the connection status indicates Error with Connection Unsuccessful message, contact Palo Alto Networks customer support to update the Strata Logging Service serial number.
