VMware ESXi Panorama vm keeps crashing and log collector shows disconnected

1.  Check ESXi vCenter for snapshot.  If it is enabled, disable it snapshot on both active and (if applicable) passive panorama. 
2. To disable snapshots, go to VM > Settings > Options > Snapshots.
3. If no snapshots exist for the selected virtual machine, disable snapshot functionality by selecting Disable snapshot  
4. If one or more snapshots exist for the selected virtual machine, the Disable snapshots option is disabled. If you want to disable snapshot functionality, you must first delete all snapshots for the current virtual machine. Refer to Deleting a Snapshot
5. Run CLI command to check if any logging rate is incrementing.  

   > debug log-collector log-collection-stats show incoming-logs

6. Run the following command to check logging rate 

   > debug software restart process logd

7. If LC shows disconnected, push config out to LC group.  NOTE: LC should show connected after config push completes
8.  Increase panorama vm memory from to up to 32 GB or higher as needed. 
9. Run the following command to increase the jvm heap memory size to 12 GB or higher as needed. 

> debug logdb set-heap-size heap-size 12

10.  Rebooted Panorama.
11.  Log should start showing up from earlier timestamps to near real time.
