  • The ServiceNow Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall integration supports External Dynamic Lists (EDLs) that accept IP, URL, and domain observables.

    Supported EDLs and observables

    An External Dynamic List is a text file that is hosted on an external web server, which for this integration is the ServiceNow AI Platform instance. The Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall can then import objects — IP addresses, URLs, domains — included in the list and enforce policy. To enforce policy on the EDL entries, the list is referenced in a policy rule or profile.

    This integration supports three types of EDLs:
    • IP (This includes a single IP Address, as well as CIDR blocks (ranges) of addresses).
    • URL
    • Domain

    The following table lists descriptions of the observables supported by this integration and example formats for each type.

    Tabelle : 1. Supported observables and example formats
    Observable Example formats Description
    IP Address
    • 95.153.103.54 (IPv4)
    • (IPv6): 2001:00B8:130F:FE03:0000:09C0:080F:130B
    Represents a single, distinct interface address.

    The integration supports IPv4, IPv6, and CIDR formats.

    Support for IP address observables includes CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) ranges, for example, 95.153.100.0/22.

    Note: An error message is displayed when you try to attach a single IP address to an EDL that you have already blocked as a part of a CIDR range. For example, the single address 95.153.103.54 is part of the CIDR range represented by 95.153.100.0/22 (95.153.100.0-95.153.103.255).
    URL
    • www.example.com
    • www.example.com/article.html
    • example.com
    • *.example.com
    Wildcards are supported. The ServiceNow AI Platform reformats URL entries to comply with Palo Alto Networks EDL format requirements.
    Domain
    • www.example.com
    • example.com
    • mail.example.com
    Wildcards are not supported.
