Description

Global search implementation similar to what we have in PanOS web UI, would provide solutions for couple of use cases.

Similar feature as how it's working in Web UI. Refer to this document
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/firewall-administration/use-the-web-interface/use-global-find-to-search-the-firewall-or-panorama-management-server

  • Do we have any existing solution in the SDK where we do global search ?
  • If we don't have, any better way to do global search ? I know configuration size is too big most of the time(>100 MB).

I would like to see any existing implementation we have and any-one solved similar problem of global search.
