Symptom


The firewall successfully sends the telemetry to the CDL cloud.
However, the AIOps dashboard shows a message of delayed telemetry.
The device does not appear under the Feature Adoption tab.

The following message is present in configd.log:

useradd: existing lock file /etc/subgid.lock without a PID
useradd: cannot lock /etc/subgid; try again later.
usermod: user '_cliuser' does not exist

 



Cause


The system is unable to create an internal user due to which it is not sending all the required information to AIOps.

Resolution


  1. Upgrade to PAN-OS version 10.1.15, 10.2.11, 11.1.5, 11.2.5 and run the new PAN-OS CLI command:
Firewall-CLI> delete authentication system-lock-files
 
  1. Or alternatively, delete the subgid.lock file from the root# console:
Firewall-root# rm /etc/subgid.lock

Then, wait for the next telemetry occurrence. Wait for the next day and connect to AIOps and check again.
