Solarwinds Palo Alto Polling Setting

What are the steps for connecting to the Palo Alto firewall via the Palo Alto Polling Setting. Does this only require an admin account on the firewall and a device certificate on the poller?

1.Navigate to the "Settings" - Polling Settings".
2.Find text labeled as "Palo Alto Polling" or similar.
3.Enter the necessary information to establish a connection to the Palo Alto firewall

This doesn't work for us on a 5020 - been trying to get this working with our PA admin all day. We tried using credentials and API generated key.

Nothing seems to work.

Any ideas out there?

I use cli polling with ours. Works great.

unfortunately, you need to add all the sub interfaces to monitor net flow.

Our PA admin has a security pre-login to CLI test string to enter.

I'm not experienced at all with PA so I'm not sure what the correct term is - does anyone have any tips for this?

Sorry not familiar with that. I do see pre-login is for VPN which I don't think solarwinds would leverage to gain access.

If it is, then you would need to install global protect on your server to reach that palo alto. Unsure if you can connect to the VPN automatically without user login. Not great for scalability, if you have multiple sites like that.
