Can you throttle logs forwarded to Panorama?

I want to know if there is a way to throttle the bandwidth logs forwarded to Panorama from a PA-3020.

I have several PA-3020 firewalls that I want to connect to Panorama and they have several hundred MB of logs each. They have never previously been managed by a Panorama before. I am afraid once I add them to Panorama, the firewalls will attempt to send all of it's logs to Panorama and inadvertently take up all the bandwitdth. Does new firewalls attempt to send all of it's old logs as well as newly generated traffic logs to Panorama automatically when it connects?

hi @dan_hwaiting

The firewalls will only start forwarding logs from the timestamp you added the configuration for log forwarding, so old logs are not forwarded to panorama, only the ones generated after you create a log forwarding profile and commit to dataplane
