pcs-toolbox
Prisma Cloud utility scripts, and a Python SDK for Prisma Cloud APIs.
Table of Contents
Support
These scripts have been developed by Prisma Cloud SEs, they are not Supported by Palo Alto Networks. Nevertheless, the maintainers will make a best-effort to address issues, and (of course) contributors are encouraged to submit issues and pull requests.
Setup
These scripts are written and tested in Python 3.x. If you need to install Python 3, you can get more information at Python's Home Page ... and you will also need PIP.
These scripts require the Python packages documented in requirements.txt. To check and install these packages, execute:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
These scripts require the included pc_lib library directory to be in the same directory as the script itself.
Configuration
Configuration for these scripts can be specified each time on the command-line, or can be saved to a configuration file.
Use the pcs_configure.py script to save a configuration file. Configuration options include:
-u / --username(REQUIRED) Prisma Cloud Username, or Access Key generated by your Prisma Cloud User-p / --password(REQUIRED) Password associated with your Prisma Cloud Username, or Secret Key associated with your Access Key--api(OPTIONAL) Prisma Cloud API/UI Base URL used to access Prisma Cloud (app*.prismacloud.*... or you can specify a directapi*.prismacloud.*URL).--api_compute(OPTIONAL) Prisma Cloud Compute API Base URL used to access Prisma Cloud Compute (For SaaS, use Compute > Manage > System > Downloads: Path to Console).--config_file(OPTIONAL) File containing your Prisma Cloud API configuration settings. Default:pc-settings.conf
An Access Key/Secret Key is preferable to using a Username/Password, and Access Keys must be created by a Prisma Cloud User with the permissions required by the script(s) being executed.
Configuration is saved as cleartext JSON, by default in the same directory as the scripts themselves, unless you specify --config_file.
CSPM vs CWP
The --api parameter is required for scripts (such as pcs_alerts_read.py) that use the Prisma Cloud CSPM API.
The --api_compute parameter is required for scripts (such as pcs_images_packages_read.py) that use the Prisma Cloud Compute (CWP) API.
For use with On-Premise/Self-Hosted Prisma Cloud Compute, --username is your Prisma Cloud Compute User, --password is your password or your active bearer token, and --api must not be specified.

Examples:
python3 pcs_configure.py --username "Example Access Key" --password "Example Secret Key" --api "app.prismacloud.io"
python3 pcs_configure.py --username "Example Access Key" --password "Example Secret Key" --api "app.prismacloud.io" --config_file ~/example-pc-settings.conf
python3 pcs_configure.py --username "Example Username" --password "Example Password" --api_compute "onpremise.example.com"
Run pcs_configure.py specifying nothing (other than the optional --config_file) to output your current configuration file.
Script Usage
For detailed documentation of each script's parameters, specify -h or --help when executing the script.
CSPM Scripts
pcs_policy_set_status.py
Use this script to enable or disable Policies globally for an account (filtered by Policy Type or Compliance Standard). This is primarily used to set up a new environment with every Policy enabled, or to update an environment after a large number of new Policies have been released.
Example:
python3 pcs_policy_set_status.py --policy_type config enable
Use this script to enable Policies that are associated with a specific Compliance Standard (or Compliance Standards).
Example:
python3 pcs_policy_status.py --policy_type all disable
python3 pcs_policy_status.py --compliance_standard "GDPR" enable
pcs_user_import.py
Use this script to import a list of Users from a CSV file, assigning the imported Users to the specified Role. It will check for duplicates before importing.
Example:
python3 pcs_user_import.py "example-import-users.csv" "Example Prisma Cloud Role to assign to the imported Users"
pcs_policy_custom_export.py
Use this script to export custom Policies to a file, for backup ... or to import into another tenant.
Example:
python3 pcs_policy_custom_export.py "example-custom-policies.json"
pcs_policy_custom_import.py
Use this to script import custom Policies. By default, imported Policies will be disabled, to maintain the status of imported Policies, specify --maintain_status It will check for duplicates before importing.
Example:
python3 pcs_policy_custom_import.py "example-custom-policies.json"
pcs_compliance_export.py
Use this script to export an existing Compliance Standard (and its Requirements and Sections) to a file, for backup ... or to import into another tenant.
Example:
python3 pcs_compliance_export.py "GDPR" "example-compliance-standard.json"
pcs_compliance_import.py
Use this to script import an exported Compliance Standard (and its Requirements and Sections) into a new Compliance Standard. To import the associated Policy mappings, specify the --policy parameter. To associate custom Policies requires first running pcs_policy_custom_export.py to generate a mapping file (and pcs_policy_custom_import.py when importing into another tenant). It will check for duplicates before importing.
Example:
python3 pcs_compliance_import.py "example-compliance-standard.json" "GDPR Imported" --policy
CWP Scripts
pcs_images_packages_read.py
Use this script to inspect the packages in all of the container images (or one image, specified by --image_id) that have been scanned by Prisma Cloud Compute.
Example:
python3 pcs_images_packages_read.py
python3 pcs_images_packages_read.py --image_id "sha256:c004737361182d3cd7f38e6d9ce4a44f2a349b8dc996834e2cba0defcd0cb522"
An alternate usage is to specify a package via --package_id to search for containers with a specific package, and optionally a version.
Example:
python3 pcs_images_packages_read.py --package_type jar --package_id log4j
python3 pcs_images_packages_read.py --package_type jar --package_id log4j:2.14.1 --version_comparison lt --output_to_csv True
Other CSPM and CWP Scripts
pcs_cloud_account_import_azure.py (in progress)**
This is the framework for importing a CSV (template in the templates directory) with a list of Azure accounts into Prisma Cloud. Note: This is still a work in progress: the basic import framework is running, but validation of CSV and duplicate name checking has not been implemented yet.
Example:
python3 pcs_cloud_account_import_azure.py prisma_cloud_account_import_azure_template.csv
pcs_posture_endpoint_client.py
This is a generic tool for prototyping with the Cloud Security Posture API. It sends output to stdout (and optionally to file) and errors/info sent to STDERR, so that it works in a pipeline which makes it jq friendly. Please note this tool is not intended as a replacement for better well-formed scripts and functions.
Example 1: GET request
python3 pcs_posture_endpoint_client.py GET /v2/policy
Example 2: POST request
cat > body.json <
pcs_compute_endpoint_client.py
This is identical to pcs_posture_endpoint_client.py, except it uses the CSPM API rather than the CWP API.
