as pan-os-php is and was always driven by XML config files, this new utility is search with specific filters and output the xPath where the information was found in your XML configuration file:

pan-os-php type=xpath in=configfile.xml filter-node=address display-nameattribute

pan-os-php type=xpath in=configfile.xml filter-node=address display-xmlnode

possible filters:

  • filter-node=address - search on all xPath, and display findings: example, find all xPath where */address are defined

    • XPATH: /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/container/entry[@name='Prisma Access']/address
    • XPATH: /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/device/cloud/entry[@name='Mobile Users Explicit Proxy']/address
    • XPATH: /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/device/cloud/entry[@name='Mobile Users']/address
    • XPATH: /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/swg-container/entry[@name='swg-container']/address
    • XPATH: /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/swg-container/entry[@name='swg-container']/region/entry[@name='ZW']/address

  • "filter-xpath=/config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/deviceconfig/system/update-server" - full xpath search, with possibility of 'display-xyz' usage to display xml content

  • 'filter-nameattribute=Palo Alto Networks Sinkhole'

  • 'filter-test=panw-auth-portal-exclude-list'

additional output flags, to not only display xpath:

  • display-xmlnode - print XML content found on xPath
  • display-nameattribute - print all nodes, but only what is listed in xml attribute "name=XYZ"
  • display-fullxpath - template related xPath are per default shorted, to display full, use this argument

default situation:

  • actions=display
  • possible actions=remove => to remove filtered XMLnode
