Symptom
- Using: GUI: Panorama > Setup> Operations > Export Panorama and devices config bundle
- A new tab is launched (Chrome), and there is an error message is displayed on the newly launched tab
Failed to redirect error to /var/log/pan/appweb3-panmodule.log (Permission denied) Attempt to redirect error to appweb3-panmodule.log
- No file download of the bundle is triggered.
Environment
- Any Panorama
- PAN-OS 10.2
Cause
Issue is fixed by PAN-189425 - Target fix in 10.2.4
Resolution
- Long-term resolution is the fix for PAN-189425 in 10.2.4.
- The issue affects only Panorama, so one can export the device bundle on the firewall itself.
- TAC can perform a temporary workaround for Panorama that can only be performed from the root.
- The workaround lasts only last until the log is recycled or recreated.
- There is no negative effect, but the workaround might need to be done multiple times depending on when the log is recycled and recreated.
