Hi all,

I’m having an issue with parsing Palo Alto Firewall logs in Splunk. Here is the current situation:
- I configured the Palo Alto firewall logs to be sent to the Splunk HF via UDP port 514.

- I installed the Splunk Add-on for Palo Alto Networks on the deployment server and pushed the TA to the HF, indexers, and search head.
- However, the Palo Alto logs in Splunk are still not being parsed. I currently don’t have a clear direction for troubleshooting. I would appreciate any advice or experience the community can share.

Since you already have add-ons everywhere, does your event include a syslog header? Could you provide a sample log?
To ensure the Palo Alto add-on functions properly, make sure the syslog header is not included in your log.

If you have syslog header add below to your inputs.conf

no_appending_timestamp = true

 I installed the Splunk Add-on for Palo Alto Networks on the deployment server and pushed the TA to the HF, indexers, and search head.

from DS, did you push the TA to indexers and search heads?
