Hello @Ishfaq

logs in a Firewall are stored in files and purged when the log quota is reached. When purged, logs are deleted by the oldest date directory or log file. To my knowledge there is no way to retrieve purged logs.

I would recommend to review log quotes and set log forwarding to 3rd party syslog server and/or to Panorama: https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClRxCAK

Kind Regards
