Cleaning Traffic Logs for a Specific Date Range

To purge the traffic logs of old entries:

Export logs to a host (this example uses a linux server)

• scp export logdb to username@host:path/logdb.tgz

Untar and clean the logs

• mkdir temp
• tar xfz logdb.tgz -C temp
• cf temp/traffic/1
• Remove any folder you wish to purge from the logs

Compress the cleaned logs

• cd ../..
• tar cfz new_logdb.tgz ./*

Import the new log file

• scp import logdb from username@host:path/new_logdb.tgz

Note: The scp import logdb command is not applicable for Panorama VM running 6.0.x. The command applies to the Palo Alto Networks firewalls, all versions of M-100, and versions up to 5.1 for the Panorama VM.
