Panorama API not retrieving some older logs

[Stromboni]

I'm working on a script to pull logs from our firewall, and noticed that I'm unable to grab logs more than couple days ago from the current date. For example, I can see logs in the UI for a specific domain on 8/20, but querying with the API won't yield results that far back. Even when adding (time_generated leq 'some date here') to the query, it doesn't pull any results. Is there something I am missing regarding API settings in the firewall, or does the logging API not go back that far?

Hi @Stromboni,

In a lab Panorama, I just did:

https://{{host}}/api?key={{key}}&type=log&log-type=traffic&query=( time_generated leq '2021/08/20 17:12:33' )

...then retrieved logs with:

https://{{host}}/api?type=log&action=get&key={{key}}&job-id={{job-id}}

...and got the expected logs. I was using Postman for the API calls, with Panorama 10.0.6.

Maybe you can share the API calls you are using?
