Troubleshooting Panorama Push - line:51: syntax error [}]

[I.Miller]

When trying to commit to a ngfw from panorama I am getting this error. I have turned on debug for configd to try and find what specific setting has a problem. No luck getting more information. I have double checked every setting and variable for something not entered correctly with no luck.

Is there a way to access that file and look at line 51 to see what the problem is?

It seems you’re encountering a syntax error at line 51 when trying to commit configurations from Panorama to a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW). The error message indicates there might be an unexpected ‘}’ character that’s causing the issue.  If you have access to the configuration file, search for line 51 to identify any syntax errors. Look for any misplaced or extra curly braces ‘}’ that might be causing the syntax error. If the configuration is in XML format, use an XML validator to check for well-formedness. An improperly closed tag or an extra brace can cause a syntax error.

I don't know how to access the configuration file. I am making the configuration changes in panorama then pushing them to the firewall. I've tried exporting the candidate config but I can't correlate this error. Do you know how I can access the configuration file that is referenced?

I fixed the problem by walking my changes back and doing them incrementally. I compared what I had before and after and couldn't find any differences but doing it incrementally worked just took a lot longer.
