How can I send Palo Alto Firewall Syslog as JSON format to a Syslog Server?

L1 Bithead

 

I have purcased a PA-440 Palo Alto Firewall. I want to send Syslog from it to a Ubuntu Server with JSON format.


I am sending Syslog from the firewall to a Ubuntu Server using "Device > Server Profiles > Syslog":

The syslogs that I receive looks like this, and is CSV(?) - not JSON:

I have managed to send JSON traffic using Fortigate firewall, so I would imagine that Palo Alto could do the same.

Hi @SoloSigma ,

 

Currently, there isn't native support for sending syslog in JSON. You can try retrieving JSON logs via API
