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
