NTP servers used do not match across cluster members-paloaltonetworks-panos
Vendor: paloaltonetworks
OS: panos
Description:
Indeni will identify when two devices are part of a cluster and alert if the NTP servers they are using are different.
Remediation Steps:
Review the NTP configuration on each device to ensure they match.
How does this work?
This script pulls the Palo Alto Networks firewall’s active configuration and extracts the configured NTP servers from there.
Why is this important?
Tracking the currently configured NTP servers on all devices is important to ensure consistent time sync.
Without Indeni how would you find this?
An administrator may write a script to pull this data from devices and compare against a gold configuration.

comments:
certificate-expiration:
why: |
Palo Alto Networks firewalls use certificate for a variety of different purposes. One purpose, for example, is inbound SSL inspection. If the certificate used by the firewall expires, certain services may be unavailable to external users.
how: |
This script pulls the Palo Alto Networks firewall's active configuration, reviews the certificates saved and retrieves their subject and expiration date.
can-with-snmp: true
can-with-syslog: true
timezone:
why: |
Most configurations in Palo Alto Networks firewalls are synchronized across cluster members. Some are not, the timezone is one of them. It is important to verify that the timezone is the same on all cluster members to avoid confusion or issues.
how: |
This script pulls the Palo Alto Networks firewall's active configuration and extracts the timezone from there.
can-with-snmp: false
can-with-syslog: false
domain:
why: |
Most configurations in Palo Alto Networks firewalls are synchronized across cluster members. Some are not, the domain name is one of them. It is important to verify that the domain name is the same on all cluster members to avoid confusion or issues.

login-banner:
why: |
Most configurations in Palo Alto Networks firewalls are synchronized across cluster members. Some are not, the login banner is one of them. It is important to verify that the login banner is the same on all cluster members to avoid confusion or issues.

syslog-servers:
why: |
Tracking the currently configured Syslog servers on all devices is important to ensure consistent logging.
how: |
This script pulls the Palo Alto Networks firewall's active configuration and extracts the configured Syslog servers from there.

radius-servers:
why: |
Tracking the currently configured RADIUS servers on all devices is important to ensure consistent authentication and access.
how: |
This script pulls the Palo Alto Networks firewall's active configuration and extracts the configured RADIUS servers from there.
can-with-snmp: false
can-with-syslog: false
dns-servers:
why: |
Tracking the currently configured DNS servers on all devices is important to ensure consistent name resolution.

unencrypted-snmp-configured:
why: |
SNMPv2c is an unsecure protocol and should not be used. Users should prefer the more secure SNMPv3.

telnet-enabled:
why: |
Telnet is an unsecure protocol and should not be used. Users may enable telnet unintentionally and should be alerted if they do so.

app-update-acceptable-lag:
why: |
App update acceptable lag is important to determine because app updates can become out of date if the scheduled update job doesn't succeed.
how: |
This script runs determines the configuration scheduled and how frequently the updates should have run.
can-with-snmp: unknown
can-with-syslog: true
av-update-acceptable-lag:
why: |
Anti-virus update acceptable lag is important to determine because Anti-virus updates can become out of date if the scheduled update job doesn't succeed.
This script runs determines the configuration scheduled and how frequently the updates should have run.

can-with-syslog: true
panw-app-update-action:
why: |
It is important to track the content (app/threat) version update action in the schedule. Following best practices this should be set to download and install based on a schedule. The rule will alert if not following best practices.
