Custom report via Panorama using XML-API

Not applicable

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom report via Panorama and then retrieving the report data using the XML APIs.

I am using the following XML-API URL to create a custom report.

https://<Panoram IP>/api/?type=config&action=set&key=<KEY>&xpath=/config/shared/reports/entry[@name='report-1']&element=<type><panorama-trsum><aggregate-by><member>from</member><member>to</member></aggregate-by><values><member>sessions</member><member>bytes</member></values></panorama-trsum></type><period>last-15-minutes</period><topn>10</topn><topm>10</topm>

I am able to configure the custom report on Panorama.

However, I am not able to retrieve the report data using the XML-API.

I am using the following XML-API URL:

https://<Panoram IP>/api/?key=<KEY>&type=report&reporttype=custom&reportname=report-1

Instead of getting the report data, I am getting the following response:

<response status="success">

<result>

<msg>

<line>Report job enqueued with jobid 10</line>

</msg>

<job>10</job>

</result>

</response>

Can anyone please let me know how to retrieve the report data using the XML-API from the Panorama.

Regards,

Charanjeet

This is correct, once you get the the job id you need to read the results of this job using the below string: (replace the xx with your variables)

https://.x.x.x.x/api/?type=log&action=get&job-id=xx&key=xxxxxxx

Have you looked at this document https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/docs/DOC-4126 page 11:

"..retrieve a dynamic report data using reporttype=dynamic, reportname=custom-dynamic-report, and cmd=report-definition where report definition is the XML definition retrieved from the xml api get"

Once you kick off the report using the API, make note of the Job id...you then need to read the report data using the job ID..see below for an example

https://<panIP>/api/?type=log&action=get&job-id=<job id>&key=<your account key>

If you need to create a key for an existing account on the PAN see below for an example assuming you use the account named "admin"

https://x.x.x.x/api/?type=keygen&user=admin&password=******

Hi zarina,

I followed the XML API document but got the same response:

<response status="success">

<result>

<msg>

<line>Report job enqueued with jobid 15</line>

</msg>

<job>15</job>

</result>

</response>
