procedure to clear logs of M200 disk-pair

Deepak25 — Sun, 11 Jul 2021 13:26:00 GMT

M200 is in HA with local log collector configured on both panorama and log redundancy enabled. We want to disable redundancy to gain additional space for logging.

We want to clear logs of Secondary Panorama M200 disk-pairs and use it for logging from scratch. No procedure found in Panorama Admin guide.

Please suggest best way to clear the stored logs of Secondary M200 local log collector , so we can get additional space for logging.

@Deepak25

You can either clear logs from the GUI or from CLI of the M200 which you do not want

clear log

> acc ACC database

> alarm Alarm logs

> auth Authentication logs

> config Configuration logs

> globalprotect GlobalProtect logs

> gtp Tunnel and GTP logs

> hipmatch Hipmatch database

> iptag Iptag logs

> sctp SCTP logs

> system System logs

> threat Threat logs

> traffic Traffic logs

> userid User-ID logs

GUI

Navigate to Device > Log Setting > Manage Logs.

Hi @Deepak25

As far as I know you don't need to clear the logs for this. Change the mode to loc collector and use it in the log collector group with the quotas you need. Theoretically the logs are still on the disk but they will be overriden as new logs are sent from the firewalls and thats it.

Hi @Remo

we want to clear the logs/disk to get additional space for logging. Panorama M200 is in HA with redundancy and storing 6 months logs in both panorama and 95% utilized , to store next 6 months logs we want to disable redundancy and clear the logs of secondary panorama to reuse it for logging with 0% disk-space utilization.
