Environment


  • PAN-OS 10.0 or above
  • WildFire realtime update is enabled


Answer


In the threat log, the Content Version shows the version that triggered the signature. This can be found by looking at the detailed threat log event.

1. Monitor > Logs > Threat
2. Click Magnifying glass on the left of the event to view the "Detailed Log View".  
3. In the "Details" pane, the Content Version is shown as "WildFire-0".


The "WildFire-0" means that the threat was detected by the WildFire realtime updates (WF RTSig). In other words, it was not detected by the signature in the released Antivirus package or WildFire package, thus there's no corresponding version number.



For example, as of today (Feb 2024), Threat Vault shows that the release status of the signature is "n/a" which means that the signature isn't being released as a part of the Antivirus package or the WildFire package.
