Retrieving logs from PA device via Panorama 6.x XML API

NirI — Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:18:31 GMT

Hello,

When I login to my PA device via ssh and run the command

show log config result equal succeeded

I get list of records.

I would like to get the exact same result but via Panorama XML API.

I tried:

https://panorama/api/?type=op&cmd=<show><log><config></config></log></show>&target=serialnumber&key=mykey

But I get:

<response status="error">
<msg>
<line>invalid client cli</line>
</msg>
</response>

How can I use the XML API in Panorama to retrieve the logs from managed device?

old but still relevant. Not all CLI commands translate directly to API call. If you use the REST API browser you can see there is a dedicated section for logs. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-panorama-api/pan-os-xml-api-request-types/retrieve-logs-api
