how to retreive predefined Applications from Panorama using Pan-OS-python

bleishangthem — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 02:32:58 GMT

I am getting "None". Need some help to figure out what is missing here.

pano = Panorama('192.168.1.1', 'user', 'pwd')

def CheckPaloAddressGroup():

original= Predefined(pano)

pano.add(original)

app_list = original.refreshall_applications()

print(app_list)

Predefined objects are retrieved from the predefined namespace that is attached to the Panorama and Firewall namespaces. Also when invoking the refreshall_* methods, they don't return results like object refreshall functions, you have to access the results from the appropriate param on the predefined namespace itself:

from panos.panorama import Panorama pano = Panorama("192.168.1.1", "admin", "admin") pano.predefined.refreshall_applications() print("Applications: {0}".format( pano.predefined.application_objects.keys()), ) print("Application Containers: {0}".format( pano.predefined.application_container_objects.keys()), )
