ezpanos 1.0.1

A lightweight PanOS (Palo Alto Networks) Firewall Management utility.

EZPanOS

lightweight PAN-OS utility library focused on practical operational tasks.

Installation

pip install ezpanos

Quick Start

from ezpanos import EzPanOS

endpoint = "10.0.0.1"
fw = EzPanOS(endpoint=endpoint, username="admin")
print(fw.execute("show system info"))

If password is omitted, you are securely prompted. Credentials entered once can be reused in-memory for subsequent connections in the same run.

Config Profiles

You can use a config.json file for endpoint/profile organization and optional usernames/passwords.

Conceptually, an estate is the firewalls you intend to manage. Because the utility works on many PanOS Configuration types: Panorama, Firewall, or Log Collector: each can be assimilated into this framework.

Example config.json:

{
  "profiles": {
    "estate": {
      "username": "svc_firewall",
      "endpoints": [
        {"endpoint": "firewall-1.inside.example.com"},
        {"endpoint": "firewall-2.inside.example.com"}
      ]
    }
  }
}

Build instances:

from ezpanos import EzPanOS

instances = EzPanOS.instances_from_config_profile(
    config_path="config.json",
    config_profile="estate",
)

Note that the name of the config_profile is estate, this is configurable if you intend to logically separate the management of different such estates. This is useful for environments with multiple Panorama Instances.

If passwords are not present in config, you will be prompted and values are reused from in-memory cache where possible.

Rule Management

from ezpanos import EzPanOS

fw = EzPanOS(endpoint="10.0.0.1", username="admin")
result = fw.create_security_rule(
    rule_name="example-rule",
    from_zones=["trust"],
    to_zones=["untrust"],
    sources=["any"],
    destinations=["any"],
    applications=["web-browsing"],
    services=["application-default"],
    action="allow",
)
print(result)

Delete rule and commit:

delete_result = fw.delete_security_rule("example-rule", ignore_missing=True)
print(delete_result)

commit_result = fw.commit(wait_for_job=True)
print(commit_result)
