Procedure

View Disk space allocated to logs

From the CLI run the command show system disk-space

PA-VM> show system disk-space
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root       7.0G  4.1G  2.6G  62% /
none            3.2G   92K  3.2G   1% /dev
/dev/sda5        16G  2.4G   13G  16% /opt/pancfg
/dev/sda6       8.0G  3.2G  4.4G  43% /opt/panrepo
tmpfs           2.2G  1.7G  412M  81% /dev/shm
cgroup_root     3.2G     0  3.2G   0% /cgroup
/dev/sda8        21G  511M   20G   3% /opt/panlogs

Check the /opt/panlogs partition shows how much is allocated to the logs

View and edit Disk quota for specific logs

From GUI

Device > Setup > scroll down to Logging and Reporting Settings
Click the Gear icon

NOTE: Logs are purged when the quota is exceeded, so it is recommended not to allocate more than 95% of the space to allow some buffer space. Set the "Max Days" (Retention Period) so that log purging operation works seamlessly and prevents the disk from filling up.

From the CLI

Use the show system logdb-quota ccommand

PA-VM> show system logdb-quota
