In the Palo Alto Network Pack, what purpose does the index index || ‘firewall’?

Best answer by pie

It sets the index to the value of the field index, if it exists, else set it to firewall. Its a defense against the condition where the data comes in raw from the syslog input and has no metadata assigned.
