PanGPS vs PanGPA logs on globalprotect

L4 Transporter

What is the main difference in between these log files? - I had read that one was more for the agent/gui - and one is the actual service?   I do know that most of the helpful logs tend to show up in the PanGPS logs file - or so it appears.   Does anyone have good feedback on this?  - As far as troubleshooting the actual agent - which is better and what the main difference is?

This was asked a while ago but i cannot get the docs...

PanGPA is described as the GlobalProtect UI program

PanGPS as the GlobalProtect service/daemon program

 

GPA seems to just note whats going on but the GPS details exactly what it has or is doing to achieve this.

 

I only ever use PanGPS.  although i often cross ref with the local PA system logs as these logs display user configs, actual seen name (for username modifier), source IP, source region etc.

Thank you Mick.  I noticed that those docs had an EOL on them.  So really what you are saying is the PanGPS logs is where to look?

Yes PanGPS.

the other one was archived because it was super old (2012)
