Expect Scripts

I see there are a couple of Expect scripts on the PA support site. 1 of them can be used to automate config changes. However, the doc does not explain how to use them. Do the scripts run on a host PC or on the PAN device? How specifically do I get them to run?

Using Perl's Net::OpenSSH for automated remote CLI access

Lately, I've been using the simple Perl code to retrieve performance data from Palo Alto.

Resolved! User reports via API?

I have been able to create a new user report via the API, but have not found a way to run the report and retreive the generated pdf. Is this completely beyond the bounds of the API?The reason I am trying to do this is because we have two separate user bases that need monitoring and action: students and faculty. Each has it's own path to resolu...

Has anyone heard of this TV software called "Funshion" which downloads Gigs of data from the internet? Unfortuntely I have many users with the software installed, and they are killing the internet bandwidth.

Hi,I'm trying to pull the results of my Custom Reports through the XML API, but while I'm able to specify a custom timeframe in the request URL, it's not taken into account.Instead, it's the reports' hardcoded timeframe which is applied (we used to use the Web GUI to get the results).I thought the starttime and endtime URL parameters would overr...

Because a running config represents the actual current configuration state of the device, it would be very helpful to be able to explicitly request a retrieval of that config versi...
