Panorama log-collector

JeffKim — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 19:02:53 GMT

We have two panorama and newly upgraded to 10.1.3.-h1 and HA and Panorama mode.

One log-collector group and two log-collectors .

All devices are have them in prefer-list

one of log-collectors has 0% avg log/sec . is it normal ?

Thank you for the post @JeffKim

If log forwarding preference is set correctly, then this is not expected behavior.

Could you do basic verification from CLI to verify all services are running and status of elastic search:

show system software status
show log-collector-es-cluster health

show log-collector detail

I would also check on one of the Firewall that is supposed to send logs to log collector to confirm log forwarding preference list and logging status:

show log-collector preference-list

show logging-status

If none of the above does not reveal any obvious issue, I would try to restart service on Panorama: debug software restart process logd

Kind Regards

Pavel

Thank you for reply and sorry for late response @JeffKim

Since based on CLI output you provided, the status of ElasticSearch is not red and based on debug of log collector there are logs coming there seems to be no reason the logs should not appear under secondary log collector. At this point, I would generate tech-support file from log collector and open a TAC ticket.

Kind Regards

Pavel

Thanks Paveik,

The issue is preference-list and we have one list and all FW send log to active log-collector in preference list.

We need to create new preference-list and 2nd log-collector first and pri log-collector is 2nd .

And then we need to assign Firewall devices in 1st preference and 2nd preference for load sharing

Web GUI looks bug on code 10.1.3-h1

Re: Panorama log-collector

JeffKim — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 20:28:01 GMT

It is not a bug ...

After restarting process at the passive panorama, it works.

debug software restart process vldmgr

Before we started process , we can see error log from vldmgr.log

Re: Panorama log-collector

PavelK — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 01:36:20 GMT

Thank you for sharing resolution @JeffKim

Would it be possible to share what errors you have seen in the vldmgr.log?

Thank you in advance

Assuming these are m600 LCs -

You'll want to upgrade to 10.1.4. Output from 'show system environmentals' is broken. It does not show fan RPMs nor does it show the power supplies are inserted.

Re: Panorama log-collector

JeffKim — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 16:16:18 GMT

@LCMember20111

We are using Panorama VA

one Collector group and two collectors .
