Monitoring

To forestall potential issues and to accelerate incidence response when needed, the firewall provides intelligence about traffic and user patterns using customizable and informative reports. The dashboard, Application Command Center (ACC), reports, and logs on the firewall allow you to monitor activity on your network. You can monitor the logs and filter the information to generate reports with predefined or customized views. For example, you can use the predefined templates to generate reports on user activities or analyze the reports and logs to interpret unusual behavior on your network and generate a custom report on the traffic pattern. For a visually engaging presentation of network activity, the dashboard and the ACC include widgets, charts, and tables with which you can interact to find the information you care about. In addition, you can configure the firewall to forward monitored information as email notifications, syslog messages, SNMP traps, and NetFlow records to external services.
(PAN-OS 10.1.2 and later versions) To use the monitoring functionality with the PA-410 you must manage PA-410 firewalls through a Panorama management server.
