Retrieving Hit Count and Last Hit Date Using Python

PaulAmmann — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 19:37:40 GMT

We have several firewall managed via Panorama. I want to pull the rulebase from each firewall to get the Hit Count and Last Hit date. I've got partial script, but I'm lost on accessing dict.

Here are the two links that I've been using:

https://pan-os-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/module-policies.html#panos.policies.RulebaseHitCount

https://pan-os-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/panos/policies.html#RulebaseHitCount

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

import panos
from panos.firewall import Firewall
from panos.policies import Rulebase, SecurityRule, RulebaseHitCount

HOSTNAME = ""
USERNAME = " "
PASSWORD = " "

fw = panos.firewall.Firewall(HOSTNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD)

rulebase = RulebaseHitCount('security', rules=None, all_rules=False)

Use the opstate namespace hanging off of the panos.policies.SecurityRule instance. There's a whole section of the documentation devoted to opstate stuff, you can see it here:
