SPL2 modules for Palo Alto Networks logs

SPL2 modules are reusable SPL2 functions generated from the add-on’s existing knowledge objects, such as props.conf and transforms.conf.

Unlike SPL2 templates, which are end-to-end pipelines, SPL2 modules are intended to provide reusable sourcetype-specific logic that can be referenced from SPL2 workflows.

Note

After you install or upgrade the Splunk Add-on for Palo Alto Networks, SPL2 modules can take a short time to appear in the product experience while they are compiled.

Module types

As of now, the Splunk Add-on for Palo Alto Networks provides the following module type:

  • Field-extraction modules

Field-extraction modules

Field-extraction modules preserve sourcetype-specific field extraction, normalization, calculated-field, and lookup behavior in reusable SPL2 form.

pan:traffic

Use the pan:traffic field-extraction module for traffic events collected from Palo Alto Networks firewalls. This module applies CSV extraction, field aliases, calculated fields, and lookup enrichments for traffic logs.

Module name Version Use case Availability
Palo Alto Networks pan:traffic logs: Field extractions module 0.1.0 Preserve the Splunk Add-on for Palo Alto Networks pan:traffic sourcetype field-extraction behavior in reusable SPL2 form generated from add-on knowledge objects. SPL2 workflow

pan:threat

Use the pan:threat field-extraction module for threat, URL, vulnerability, wildfire, spyware, file, and virus events. This module applies field extraction, CIM normalization, lookup enrichments, and whitespace trimming for selected threat fields.

Module name Version Use case Availability
Palo Alto Networks pan:threat logs: Field extractions module 0.1.0 Preserve the Splunk Add-on for Palo Alto Networks pan:threat sourcetype field-extraction behavior in reusable SPL2 form generated from add-on knowledge objects. SPL2 workflow

pan:traffic:cloud

Use the pan:traffic:cloud field-extraction module for traffic events from cloud-delivered Palo Alto Networks log data. This module applies field extraction, normalization, calculated fields, lookup enrichments, and JSON flattening for nested cloud log data.
