Palo Alto Panorama Integration Setup¶

This guide will walk you through steps to set up Palo Alto Panorama integration with the nautobot_chatops App.

Prerequisites¶

Before configuring the integration, please ensure the following:

nautobot-chatops App was installed with integration extra dependencies.
```
pip install nautobot-chatops[panorama]
```
nautobot-chatops App is set up with at least one enabled chat platform and tested.

Command Setup¶

Create a top-level command named panorama in your enabled chat platform. For detailed instructions related to your specific chat platform, refer to the platform specific set up.

Configuration¶

You must define the following values in your nautobot_config.py file:

Configuration Setting	Mandatory?	Default	Available on Admin Config
`enable_panorama`	Yes	False	Yes
`panorama_host`	Yes		No
`panorama_password`	Yes		No
`panorama_user`	Yes		No

Below is an example snippet from development/nautobot_config.py that demonstrates how to enable and configure Palo Alto Panorama integration:

PLUGINS = ["nautobot_chatops"]

PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    "nautobot_chatops": {
        ...
        "enable_panorama": True,
        "panorama_host": os.environ.get("PANORAMA_HOST"),
        "panorama_password": os.environ.get("PANORAMA_PASSWORD"),
        "panorama_user": os.environ.get("PANORAMA_USER"),
    }
}

Upgrading from `nautobot-plugin-chatops-panorama` App¶

Warning

When upgrading from nautobot-plugin-chatops-panorama App, it's necessary to avoid conflicts.

Uninstall the old App:

pip uninstall nautobot-plugin-chatops-panorama

Upgrade the App with required extras:

pip install --upgrade nautobot-chatops[panorama]

Fix nautobot_config.py by removing nautobot_plugin_chatops_panorama from PLUGINS and merging App configuration into nautobot_chatops:

PLUGINS = [
    "nautobot_chatops",
    # "nautobot_plugin_chatops_panorama"  # REMOVE THIS LINE
]

PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    # "nautobot_plugin_chatops_panorama": {  REMOVE THIS APP CONFIGURATION
    #     MOVE FOLLOWING LINES TO `nautobot_chatops` SECTION
    #     "panorama_host": os.environ.get("PANORAMA_HOST"),
    #     "panorama_user": os.environ.get("PANORAMA_USER"),
    #     "panorama_password": os.environ.get("PANORAMA_PASSWORD"),
    # }
    "nautobot_chatops": {
        # Enable Palo Alto Panorama integration
        "enable_panorama": True,
        # Following lines are moved from `nautobot_plugin_chatops_panorama`
        "panorama_host": os.environ.get("PANORAMA_HOST"),
        "panorama_password": os.environ.get("PANORAMA_PASSWORD"),
        "panorama_user": os.environ.get("PANORAMA_USER"),
    }
}

Environment variables for this integration are the same for both, old and new configuration.
