seek linux script to collect PA CLI: debug log-receiver statistics

Hi,

I seek a script (Linux/window/or else) to collect information on PA: > debug log-receiver statistics

So a script that :

- connect to the appliance & loggin automaticly

- pass the command> debug log-receiver statistics

- optional : get only the lines begin by : "Log written rate:"

- or get all the return of the command INTO a file.

I ask this before i try to do it by myself. Then i just have use XLS do get the AVG, with this file.

Its to get calculate more easily the AVG log space :

I can do the CLI command manualy on day time, but on evening and night, im at home lol. And i want more acurate AVG.

thanks!

There is a command called pancli in the PAN-perl package which will do this. For example:

$ pancli -t pa-200 'debug log-receiver statistics | match "Log written rate:"'

Log written rate: 1/sec

$ perldoc pancli
