pan-os-python uses an object hierarchy.  You have part of this correct, but part of it is wrong, and that's why you're not getting the results you expect.  You want your object hierarchy to look like Panorama > DeviceGroup > AddressObject, but your first chunk is actually setting up the hierarchy as a Panorama object with two children, a DeviceGroup and an AddressObject.  Invoking the create() function on the AddressObject with your hierarchy like this should put the address object in the shared scope instead of the device group.  So your code should look something like this instead:   from panos.panorama import Panorama, DeviceGroup from panos.objects import AddressObject pano = Panorama(HOSTNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD) dg = DeviceGroup("DG-VWire") pano.add(dg) dg.create() obj = AddressObject("Server3", "1.2.3.4") dg.add(obj) obj.create()   For your security rules one, I'm guessing you're wanting to get the rules that are in a specific device group..?  I don't see a device group reflected in your code.  So you'd want something like this:   from panos.panorama import Panorama, DeviceGroup from panos.policies import SecurityRule, PostRulebase pano = Panorama(HOSTNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD) dg = DeviceGroup("my group") pano.add(dg) rulebase = PostRulebase() dg.add(rulebase) rules = SecurityRule.refreshall(rulebase) print("Current security rules ({0} found):".format(len(rules)))   Hope that helps! ...

You're close.   After you create the panorama object and add the device group to the panorama, you want to do refreshall(), giving the device group as the base.  So like this:     from pandevice.panorama import Panorama, DeviceGroup from pandevice.objects import AddressObject pano = Panorama(....) dg = DeviceGroup(devicegroup) pano.add(dg) # Now get all the address objects present. listing = AddressObject.refreshall(dg) for obj in listing: print("* {0}".format(obj.about()))   ...

pandevice actually has an example script that deals with security rules:   https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/pandevice/blob/develop/examples/ensure_security_rule.py ... View more
