Hi.
I'm trying to setup alerting for multiple elements of the Palo Alto firewall, one thing I've not been able to work out is how the get alerts for when the Dynamic updates aren't working and the same with the URL DB. So I can be made aware if the updates haven't updated in xxx days. They're on a schedule to download and install, but would be nice to know if there's a way of being alerted if they're not being applied for some reason.
Not sure if this gets written to the system log in any way? Or any other ideas?
Thanks

I've not found a way to do it from the device system logs, but it's really easy to setup in AIOps (the free version) which is what we have. Within AIOps you can setup email notification alerts that look like this. You can also see we've setup notifications for other device function/issues:

Hello,
Or is you send logs to a SIEM, you can alert that way as well, eg if an update hasnt installed in X time.
