Need a little help with PAN::API on Linux

Not applicable

I just installed the User-ID API PAN::API system on my Linux server to pass wireless syslog information to a Palo Alto User-ID Agent.  The problem is the User-ID Agent does see the connection from Linux, but does not post the passed user logon data.  The test Perl script is very small;

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use warnings;

use diagnostics;

use PAN::API;

my $uid = PAN::API::UID->new('10.1x.2xx.1xx');

$uid->add('logon','DOMAIN\somename', '10.7x.3x.1xx');

$uid->submit();

print "Done\n";

Now the User-ID Agent log shows the connection, but no passed data;

05/25/12  11:46:34  |  Debug | Device thread 0 send server status 10.1x.2xx.1xx : 57990 Disconnected (XML API)

The Perl program throws no errors and everything ~looks~ fine.

I was wondering how one would go about troubleshooting thi issue.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

there is a mistake in your script:

you write "logon" instead of "login"

you can use :

$class->login($username,$ipaddress);

or

$class->add($eventtype,$username,$ipaddress);


the event type can be login or logout, in this doc:

I think there is a mistake. try to use ->login() and ->logout() function instead.

regards
