Edit2: As nobody is removing this post and I will not repeat myself with SNMP part, one more way of graphing this up - Pan(w)achrome addon for Chome browser. That will sit on the background and pool the Palo for the stats, including session information. Pooling rate can be adjusted as needed. Results are stored and graph can be viewed later on.
Looks like this: http://prntscr.com/bhu6g0

Probably may become usful not just for this purpose.

show running resource-monitor day last 7

Look for field: "session (maximum):"

less dp-log dp-monitor.log
Loof for field: "Number of active sessions:"

You can search if you use

/Number of active sessions

n - searches for next

Or if you don't want to search then just use command:

grep dp-log dp-monitor.log pattern "Number of active sessions:"

VM does not have dataplane so replase dp-log with mp-log

You can also use tools like Cacti to pull numbers from your firewall using SNMP. That way you can see trending over time.
