Historical Bandwith/Interface Mbps Usage

palodm — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 18:27:38 GMT

Hello

I am struggling to get some very basic data from a Palo Alto Firewall or Panorama appliance. All answers seem to point to third party solutions.

I would like to get historical bandwidth usage. Pretty much what QoS Statics offers but instead of realtime, I want to be able go back days/weeks. All I am getting is aggregated data by Application over a period of time which doesn't answer my question since I want to be able to identify the highest spikes in overall traffic by Mbps.

Hello,

Unfortunately, 3rd party solutions is the way to go. There are some that are free for a small numbers of things monitored. PRTG is one that I have used in the past, each thig you monitor is a 'sensor', so say a firewall and you monitor 5 interfaces including cpu/ram, this will be 7 sensors. I think its free up to 100 sensors.

While I'm not endorsing a specific product, just using one as an example. Check your regulations/policies to see which one fits and can be used.

Regards,

Hi,

It took some time to research this topic, but it seems that if you have managed devices with panorama, you can now go back 90 days to the historical data of various aspects and throughput. Simply you can browse Panorama-managed devices- health, and see the current utilization of the managed device. If you click on the particular device, then you can see and pick a time frame for various historical data up to the past 90 days.
