pdf rule export to include APPs seen on each rule

Is there a way I can get a list of all the apps seen against each rule? There is a column "apps seen" that tells you the number of apps seen, but you have to click into that to look at what they are.

@JHALL3,

I'm not aware of any way to export this list. It's a frequent enough question that people ask for, but to the best of my knowledge the "best" way to accomplish this is still rather convoluted and not necessarily complete. You can create a detailed traffic report and just have application and rule selected to get the same information exported into Excel, however the firewall is reliant on what you have in your traffic logs at that point whereas the "Apps Seen" information is stored separately and doesn't rely on your log retention.

Sadly the best course of action here really is just working in the GUI at this point. Unless I've just missed it, PAN still hasn't extended the ability to view this information directly in the API/CLI to allow any sort of programmatic retrieval.
