Splunk-App-Data-Generator

Sample data generator for the Splunk for Palo Alto Networks app.

Sample Data Generator for Palo Alto Networks Splunk App

Description

This app installs on Splunk side-by-side with the SplunkforPaloAltoNetworks app. When this app is enabled, it will generate events for the SplunkforPaloAltoNetworks app to parse and display.

Requirements

Installation

All steps must be performed in order. The examples assume Splunk is installed in /opt/splunk, but you can install Splunk in another directory.

  • Install this pan_datagen app on Splunk using the .zip file or git.

  • Restart Splunk

  • Create a new user called 'pan' with password 'pan' and role 'pan'
    (this is required for the data generator)

    For example, on the command line:
    (replace changeme with your Splunk admin password)

    /opt/splunk/bin/splunk add user pan -password pan -role pan -auth admin:changeme

  • Restart Splunk again

  • Verify you are getting events by going to the
    Palo Alto Networks app Overview Dashboard

Known issues

  • This app can consume a lot of resources, so it's not advised to run it on
    a production Splunk environment. It should only be used for testing or
    demonstration.
  • The sample data may not always be in the form of the latest PAN-OS syslogs.
    It may use older PAN-OS syslog formats, or a mix of old and new.
