Purge Logs

Hi,

Does anyone know how to purge logs of PA2020? My drive is getting full and I need to delete logs to free up some space.

Thanks,

Rex

The logs will overwrite themselves, but you want to purge the logs you can use the command > clear log and then choose the type of log file to purge.

Hi nrice,

Thanks for the reply. I work on your suggestion to clear logs but it does not free up space on my drive. Do you know other ways to free up space for my Palo Alto storage? This happens when I upgrade my PA to version 4.

THe logs should start to overwrite at about 80%. If your utilization is higher than this you may want to contact your support provider so that they can determine which logs are filling up and help you to clear them out.
