How to Determine Log Rate on Panorama Devices with a Log Collector

• PAN-OS 7.0 and above.
• Any Panorama.

When a Panorama Virtual Machine or M Series is configured in Panorama Mode with a Log Collector and is managing firewalls, the logging rate can be obtained using the Statistics link.

1. From the WebUI: Panorama > Managed Collectors

2. Click on Statistics display Average Logs/sec.

3. When the Panorama server is enabled to collect logs, the same statistics can be obtained from the CLI, using the command:

Panorama> debug log-collector log-collection-stats show incoming-logs
Last time logs received Sun Feb  2 17:54:47 2020

Incoming log rate =   125.85

Detail counts by logtype:
traffic:1780676451
config:1126
system:98615
threat:28105597

Note: The difference in the log rate between the command Line and Web UI is because:

• The Web UI displays the rate at which the logs are written to the M-100 RAID disks and is measured at 5 minute average intervals.
• The command line displays the rate at which the Log Collector has received the logs at any moment in time.
