Panachrome

I have just released the first beta drop of the major rework on the Chrome extension Pan(w)achrome. The release is not available on the Chrome Web Store but should be downloaded & installed manually (more about this later).

New features

• New UI. Right now only dark mode is supported but light mode is in the works

• Deep Dives. Deep Dives are dynamic dashboard that let you dive into specific aspects of the device.

• CPU & Memory safety checks. If the device MP CPU or MP Memory are high, Pan(w)achrome will automatically stop polling the devices.

• Support for new metrics. Global Protect, Long Running Sessions, ...

• Improved support for PA7K. With support for large numbers (big integers) and dynamic dashboards, Pan(w)achrome is now able to better present the state of PA7Ks.

• New way of adding devices. Devices can now be added directly inside the app without going thru the PAN-OS web login.

Installation

Sadly Chrome WebStore does not provide a good mechanism for beta programs. Installing the beta is a quite manual process:

• Download the beta release (check the forum for the link to the latest beta)

• Check the hash

• Unzip the file in a dedicated directory

• In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions

• Enable Developer Mode and click on Load Unpacked Extension

• Select the directory with the unzipped files

• You should see the extension enabled

• Suggestion: disable the old Pan(w)achrome version
