Question


What Important information should customer be aware of before  executing  debug command on Palo Alto Devices?

Environment


  • Any PAN-OS
  • Any Palo Alto Firewall
  • Any Panorama


Answer


Debug commands are often used by TAC to diagnose and resolve any PANOS related issues. Running debug commands involves some level of risk to the environment due to the high utilization of resources required to run these commands. It is highly recommended to run these commands during a maintenance window where the potential impact can be minimized. If not, TAC will take every precaution to minimize any adverse effect to customer environment. These precautions include:
  1. The cessation (ending) of debug commands when the appropriate information is obtained.
  2. Review of debug plan by a senior resource prior to the execution of said commands.
  3. The appropriate restrictions placed on the debug command, as required by the type of information being obtained.
  4. Verification with the customer that a maintenance window, or other mitigation steps, have been considered.
It is important to acknowledge this may have significant impact to your network, including outage of services in some instances. TAC requires customer authorization via the support case to execute any high-risk debug commands on their devices.
