Procedure


Option 1: 
  1. Navigate to the CLI of the firewall 
  2. Execute the following command to get the size for the last committed change 
> show management-server last-committed config-size
Note: Output would look like below
> show management-server last-committed config-size
491166 bytes
           And the following command gives the size of the candidate config-size      
> show management-server candidate config-size
15255564 bytes

Option 2:

  2. Unzip the techsupport file.
  3. Navigate to \opt\pancfg\mgmt\tmp\panorama_pushed
  4. If configuration is pushed by Panorama then check the size of mergesp.xml
  5. If entire configuration is local to firewall and not from Panorama then check the size of running-config.xml
