Symptom


  • New Firewalls added to the Panorama.
  • Firewalls do not show any logs being sent to the Log Collectors.
    • > show logging-status
  • Preference list is correctly populated on the Firewall
    • > show log-collector preference-list
  • Firewalls are connected to the Panorama and Log collectors
    • > show netstat all yes numeric-hosts yes numeric-ports yes | match 3978
  • The new Firewalls have been added in the Device Log Forwarding section of the Collector Group Config on the Panorama and committed.
  • logrcvr.log on the Firewall shows the following :-
    • 2025-05-09 04:41:59.236 +0000 Timeout:100 triggered for lc_conn_id:lr-XX.XX.XX.XX-def dst_registered:false
      2025-05-09 04:41:59.236 +0000 Re-sending lcs-register for lc_conn_id:lr-XX.XX.XX.XX-def
      2025-05-09 04:41:59.237 +0000 Error:  pan_rlog_agent_dst_register(pan_rlog_agent.c:661): failed to fetch the customer ID
      2025-05-09 04:41:59.317 +0000 Error:  pan_rlog_agent_dst_register_res(pan_rlog_agent.c:494): Error getting the 'hostname' attribute from the response


Environment


  • Palo Alto Networks Firewalls and Panorama
  • Log Collectors
  • Log forwarding from the Firewalls to the Log Collectors


Cause


The issue is seen because a Collector Group Push has not been performed after adding the new Firewalls to the Device Log Forwarding section of the Collector Group Config on the Panorama.



Resolution


Perform a Collector Group Push from the Panorama to the Log Collectors
