Hi guys, greetings.
On of my customers asked me a simple question about palo alto database. How does it work internally? Is there any SQL database internal on PAN-OS? Should it be accessed by any external factor like APIs os something like that?

There's actually a number of different databases used by PAN-OS, for example User-ID is kept in a REDIS database with the IP and user being kept as a simple key/value pair (which is why fundamentally an IP can only be mapped to one user). You can glean some additional information by looking at the OSS listings that they publish, like the fact that something uses SQLite. PAN isn't really going to disclose the inter workings of their operating system though.

Hi @g-crisostomo ,
Are you referring to the PAN-DB? or are you hoping to learn about the architecture of the PAN-OS operating system that runs on all PANW firewalls?

It's about the architecture of the PAN-OS operating system that runs on all PANW firewalls

Hi @JayGolf, did you see my last information?

Hi @g-crisostomo ,
I don't believe that information is available to the public. I would recommend reaching out to your SE/ Account team for further questions.

Hello,
Its a flat database designed for speed, so its definitely not sql.
