Strata Cloud Manger Monitoring?

"I have a Strata Cloud Manager plugin integrated with a Palo Alto M600 device. Strata Cloud Manager manages mobile VPN users, GlobalProtect, and other related functionalities. I want to monitor VPN capacity and GlobalProtect concurrent user logins. Additionally, I would like to generate daily, weekly, and monthly reports.

Does anyone know how to achieve this at the moment? I understand that no direct approach is available as of now.

I've not tried it myself, but maybe you can use an API poller to call the PA API to grab the info you need. This might help:

Thank you for this URL. I hope this will direct me to the right direction. Let me try some tests from my end. Meanwhile, it would be greatly appreciated if you can help me with steps. Thank you once again!

No problem! Always happy to help.

There are pre-requisites to using API pollers. If you are an Observability/Hybrid Cloud Observability Essentials or Advanced licensee, then you already have the features you need.

However, if you have 'legacy module' licensing (NPM, NCM, etc) you need to check you are also licensed for Server and Application Monitor (SAM), as this is the module which includes API pollers. If you do not currently have this license, you can activate a free trial from Settings > License Manager.

Once you have confirmed you have the licensing you need, you can follow this guide which details how to set them up:

Let me know if you need any further guidance with this.

I am having Observability Advanced for Enterprise AEXXXX and SAM is already covered. Let me work with PA team and come back with results. Thank you @silverbacksays
