I know that you can export logdb and after sometime you can import logdb so that you can take whatever you need.

Hi,

You can only import an entire database not selective logs.so you can export the whole db, then re import it.

Thanks,

Hello Gururaj,

The answer is no. We cannot take data from other devices and put it on the PAN as the formatting / data / and file types would not synchronize as what is expected by the PAN.

If the log database exported out of PAN device earlier and if that file is there then yes we can load it back to the device. ( Remember that once logdb is imported then only that data shows up and any other data on device is removed. It does not merge the old and new data )

We only have option to,

"scp import logdb <options>"

There is no other option to load log data to the device.

Thanks

Hi All,..

Is there any way to schedule exporting whole logdb to SCP server? As in the GUI it shows different logs type as shown below,.

If we have scheduled to export url logs to SCP server,.then is it not possible to import that particular logs back to PaloAlto device a for analyzing?
