Automatic download of updates

Chris.Holmes — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 23:42:42 GMT

My Palo Alto is not connected to the internet. When I need to update it I must manually download the updates from a browser, copy them to my PA, then apply them.

Is there a way to autmate the download of the updates? Ideally I only want to download the newest updates each time. Any ideas?

I wrote this script to download latest content packs. You can use the PAN-OS API to send them to the firewall once downloaded.

Hope it helps,
