Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I would like the ability to modify all log setting types via the panos library (i.e. user id, global protect, hip match, ip tag, correlation) not just system and config logs, so that I can automate log setting changes across a large fleet of firewalls.

Describe the solution you'd like

I see that @BatD2 opened a PR to implement this functionality a few years ago (https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/pan-os-python/pull/482). Can this change be reviewed and possibly implemented?

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #482 and the existing panos library support for system and config log settings. Trace how user id, global protect, HIP match, IP tag, and correlation settings are represented and configured; done means all listed log setting types can be modified through the library and the relevant behavior is covered by tests.
