Palo Alto Networks App for Splunk
Overview
Details
Palo Alto Networks App for Splunk leverages the data visibility provided by the Palo Alto Networks security platform with Splunk's extensive investigation and visualization capabilities to deliver advanced security reporting and analysis. This app enables security analysts, administrators, and architects to correlate application and user activities across all network and security infrastructures from a real-time and historical perspective. Complicated incident analysis that previously consumed days of manual and error-prone data mining can now be automated, saving not only manpower but also enabling key enterprise security resources to focus on critical, time-sensitive investigations.

- Eventtype pan_threat no longer includes these log_subtypes: url, data, file, and wildfire. You might need to update custom searches or panels you created that leverage the pan_threat eventtype.
