Any Automation tool for Palo Alto

Please suggest any Automation tool or software which can be integrated to firewall:

Main requirements:

We have many port based rules. which the tools requires to analysze the traffic logs and suggest which application can be replaced with this.

Similarly find the rule which can be combained :

Rule combining if this can be done by Tools ( instead doing by Admins) this is preferrable.

You could use the PANW migration tool for an port to App-ID migration

There are also commercial tools out there which are more focussed on automation like in example SECHealth

I understand that you are in production. Still you might want to check out

Download the guide and read through the 'App-ID Adoption – Step-by-step guide' section or google SECHealth if you are looking for automation.
