Feature Request List

[vsys_remo]

Hi community

In a lot of topics there are discussions and questions about PAN-OS enhancements and missing (not yet implemented) features. So far the PaloAlto Feature Request list isn't available to the public but in a lot of these existing topics feature request IDs (FR ID) are mentionned. Even knowing that PAN-OS is already a feature rich firewall operating system, there is always room for improvement, so I thought it might be helpful for others (and myself) to collect these existing public available FR IDs and summarize them in one topic.

Added FR ID 11012 - Windows Server 2019 support for User-ID Agent

[dannon]

Reached out to my SE with these:

1.  run a "user activity report" 

in the "Download URL logs" link which open up a CSV file, please in this file include either the original Username or IP address which was entered into the box on the original "User Activity Report" dialog. We are concerned that Lawyers might not hold the file up in court since it doesn't have a username / IP tied to it.  Only the "Download User Activity Report" has that. - FR11763

2.  Log and report search keywords - user typed in suicide into Google - FR6186

3.  Show current interface bandwidth in a dashboard widget. Be able to log over time. - FR4507

4.  Log /report / make a column header the TLS/SSL version detected on HTTPS sites. - FR5678

5.  Allow the GUI to change colors - themes.  Maybe a dark theme?- FR11765

6.  In "Response Pages", have a "Preview" link, so that we can see the page quickly without having to download and open in another browser.  Useful when making changes.- FR913

7.  Allow for more "User Activity Report" customization - pie charts, different bar charts, color, tables, etc. - FR11764

Hi @dannon 

I have added your FR IDs to the list. And in addition I have some comments:

What abour simply downloading the logs directly from the URL logs?

Since PAN-OS 8.1 there is a device health monitoring in panorama which includes bandwidth

This is already possible with browser extensions (maybe even directly in the browser) by enabling high contrast modes or by changing the css.

Because of the low number of this feature request this one is already pretty old so I think the chances that this (checkpoint) feature will be implemented are not that high...

FR-11251: Panorama High Availability: MFA using SAML (Okta)

When using SP-initiated SSO from PAN-OS via Okta and SAML, the SSO profile selection is sync'd between Active/Passive. Thus, you can only log in to one of your devices from an HA pair--e.g. if your SAML auth profile and its associated configuration in Okta redirects to the Active device's ACS URL, then you can only authenticate to the Active device. If you initiate SSO from the the Passive device, it will fail because you are redirected to the Active device's ACS URL and the assertion is for the Passive device.

We desperately need PANOS to support more than 8 ae interfaces.  We have some large chassis (with multiple vsys) that are embarrassingly underutilized because we can't assign more ae interfaces to them.  This seems like such a minor tweak, but it would help us fully use the hardware investments that we have made.  Please help!

Hi @tforeen 

Please reach out to your SE to have him create a feature request for this. Once you have the FR ID you can post it here and I will add it to the list, so others can see this and vote also for the FR. But as I am not a paloalto employee I cannot create the Feature request for you.

The boss specifically is concerned about detailed user report - he has a specific need to see all traffic for a particular user.  He says it allows the ability to see "intent".  It's because our HR dept is very wishy-washy and don't want to repremand someone unless there is bullet-proof evidence.  I guess the boss is extending this rationale to a legal scenario.  I don't always agree with the logic, but it's what he wants to see.

We only have 1 firewall, so aren't going to get buy Panorama.  Would be nice to add a widget to the existing dashboard natively.  I would think it wouldn't be that hard.

This is already possible with browser extensions (maybe even directly in the browser) by enabling high contrast modes or by changing the css.

I've had other vendors (Fortinet) that allow this natively.  It's not a high priority, but since others can do it, why not Palo?  I just thought I'd add it to the list for the future in case someone else wants the feature too.

Understandable, but again, included just to have a request out there.
