Question 89

A cloud infrastructure architect wants to monitor NGFW in production running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is known that the software firewalls are able to publish native PAN-OS metrics to AWS CloudWatch. The cloud infrastructure architect is unable to browse any firewall metrics on CloudWatch.

Which two features are needed to remediate this issue? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: A, C

    To remediate the issue of not being able to browse firewall metrics on CloudWatch, the IAM policy must have the action 'cloudwatch:PutMetricData', which allows the software firewall to publish its metrics to CloudWatch. Additionally, monitoring with the correct namespace is essential; the namespace for custom metrics (such as those published by third-party applications like the NGFW) should not start with 'aws'. Therefore, using the namespace 'VMseries' ensures the firewall metrics are categorized correctly in CloudWatch.
