As part of our PAN-OS 7.0 release, you can now take advantage of many new Panorama features<\/a> designed to simplify policy and device management. Read more about them in the PAN-OS\u00ae New Features Guide Version 7.0<\/a> or read on for features that were hand-picked by our staff as having the biggest impact.<\/p>\n

Device Group Hierarchy and Template Stacks<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\"panorama_1\"<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n

Are convoluted and outdated rulebases hindering your productivity? Now, it\u2019s easier than ever to set, group, and manage rules by creating nested device groups in a tree hierarchy\u2014with lower-level groups inheriting the policies and objects of higher-level groups\u2014and template stacks, which push the combined settings of multiple templates to firewalls. These panorama features empower you to organize firewalls based on function<\/strong> and<\/em> location<\/strong> without necessitating a redundant configuration.<\/p>\n

Multiple Access Domains for Role-Based Access<\/h3>\n

As an administrator, your time is precious! That\u2019s why we now enable you to control administrator access to information according to areas or levels of responsibility, providing you increased focus and context. Each Panorama Device Group and Template administrator can now have multiple access domains, each controlling access to device groups and templates, and each paired with an administrative role. This enables administrators to filter the Panorama web interface by domain.<\/p>\n

Import a Firewall Configuration into Panorama<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve ever tried to migrate a configuration into Panorama, you might know that the process could be a bit tedious and complex. To alleviate this pain point, you can now import firewall configurations into Panorama and can also clone templates and template stacks. These features save you the effort (and headache!) of deleting, recreating, or renaming configuration elements when only a move or copy is needed.<\/p>\n

Log Redundancy Within a Collector Group<\/h3>\n

Logs provide visibility. They enable you to analyze and correlate network events so that you can detect and respond to threats effectively. In Panorama, you can now enable log duplication for a Collector Group to ensure that, if any one Log Collector becomes unavailable, no logs are lost: you can still display all the logs forwarded to the Collector Group and run reports for those logs.<\/p>\n
