Hey @JimmyHolland, I'm not even sure who to go to with that to be honest. We're a small team here and as far as I know, we don't really have a reseller. We are just using the Palo Alto AMI from the marketplace. We do have a license for our physical Palo Altos in our offices, but I'm honestly not sure who we go through for that.

Hey Jimmy, thanks for that. I guess I forgot to include some things. My issue was the I was unable to create the category via Terraform, but was unable to create some of the other things via Ansible, that I can create with Terraform. There was no one solution to set everything up, but I did figure out what I could do. There was only 1 thing I couldn't create via Terraform and 3 I couldn't create via Ansible, so I decided to go with Terraform. I was able to get the URL category working by creating a "null_resource" in Terraform with a provisioner to call an Ansible script. I basically created an Ansible script with a single task of creating the URL Categories, then used the following for my Terraform script: resource "null_resource" "whitelisted_sites" { provisioner "local-exec" { command = "ansible-playbook -T 300 url_categories.yml --extra-vars='{ \" ip_address \" : \"IP_ADDRESS \" , \" username \" : \"USERNAME \" , \" password \" : \"PASSWORD \" }'" } }

I may be missing something, but I'm not seeing a way to create a custom URL category via Terraform or Ansible. We are trying to automate our Palo setups as much as possible, and from what I can tell, this is the only thing we are unable to do with it. We can create the URL filtering profiles, just not the URL categories. Anyone ran into this or know of a way to do it? I know you can create them via the API, but that's kind of a messy workaround. Just wanted to check before implementing it.
