This document aims to familiarizes users and admins to the CLI commands (on PAN-OS 8.0) relevant to User-ID agent running on Windows server.
Check for agent
- To check if the agent is connected and operational:
admin@anuragFW> show user user-id-agent statistics
Name Host Port Vsys State Ver Usage
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAB_UIA 10.21.56.14 5007 vsys1 conn:idle 5
Usage: 'P': LDAP Proxy, 'N': NTLM AUTH, 'C': Credential Enforcement
A state of 'conn:idle' indicates the connected state. Usage would show blank if the User-ID agent is only furnishing user-ip mappings and no other services such as LDAP proxy, NTLM auth or credential enforcement.
Check for details of connection
- To see the details of the connection between User-ID agent and the firewall:
admin@anuragFW> show user user-id-agent state
"LAB_UIA" LAB_UIA
all Show all user-id agents
<value> <name> agent name

admin@anuragFW> show user user-id-agent config name
"LAB_UIA" LAB_UIA
<value> user-id-agent name
admin@anuragFW> show user user-id-agent config name "LAB_UIA"

Set and view logging level
- There are two ways to set the logging level on the Agent and then view them. Default level is 'Info'.
- From the Agent itself.
Use the scroll bar to view the latest logs
- From the firewall's CLI
- From the Agent itself.
admin@anuragFW> debug user-id agent
"LAB_UIA" LAB_UIA
<value> specify one agent
admin@anuragFW> debug user-id agent "LAB_UIA" on
debug Output error, warning, info and debug logs
error Only output error logs
info Only output error, warning and info logs
verbose Output error, warning, info, debug and verbose logs
warn Only output error and warning logs
admin@anuragFW> debug user-id agent "LAB_UIA" on debug
Send debug message to agent LAB_UIA
admin@anuragFW> debug user-id agent "LAB_UIA" receive yes
Send debug message to agent LAB_UIA
View and clear logs
- To view the logs, the following commands can be used as per the requirement:
less agent-log <value>
tail follow <yes|no> lines <1-65535> agent-log <value>
Example -
admin@anuragFW> less agent-log 1.LAB_UIA.log

- To clear the agent-log, use the following command:
admin@anuragFW> debug user-id agent LAB_UIA clear log
debug log for agent 'LAB_UIA'(vsys1) is truncated.
