¶ Palo Alto Log Forwarding Setup Guide
Please follow the instructions below to forward log events from your Palo Alto Networks Firewall to the QRadar SIEM.
- Navigate to the Device tab, open Server Profiles > Syslog
- Configure the address of the QRadar Processor or Collector that the firewall should send events to as per screenshot below.
¶ Syslog Profile
On the Custom Log Format tab of the Syslog Server Profile, the custom formats must be entered for each of the log types.
Copy each of the Log Type Entries (below) and paste into the corresponding field.
The screenshot below displays how these would look.
NOTE: This is of critical importance or QRadar will not be able to interpret the log data

¶ Log Forwarding Profile
On the Objects tab, navigate to Log Forwarding.
Create a new Log Forwarding Profile or edit an existing one, called “default”, and then configure each of the Log Types with the Syslog Profile created in the previous step.
TOP TIP: We recommend naming this profile “default”. When creating new rules, if a profile called “default” exists it will be automatically selected/prefilled. This eliminates the need to manually define it and reduces the risk of forgetting.
See screenshot below.
¶ Crucial Last Steps
Warning: If you do not assign the Log Forwarding Profile to your policies, only minimal logs will be sent.
Very few logs will be forwarded unless the newly created Log Forwarding Profile is defined in your Security/Authentication/DoS Protection/Tunnel Inspection policy rules, with the Security Policies being of the highest importance.
Review your rules, and apply the Log Forwarding Profile to any rules pertaining to Assets and Networks which fall under the scope of works of Secure-ISS’s Security Event Monitoring.
