The Panorama solution includes two overall functions: Device Management and Log Collection/Reporting.
Device Management includes activities such as configuration management and deployment, deployment of PAN-OS and content updates.
Log Collection includes collecting logs from one or multiple firewalls, either to a single Panorama or to a distributed log collection infrastructure. In addition to collecting logs from deployed firewalls, reports can be generated based on that log data, whether it resides locally on the Panorama, or on a distributed logging infrastructure.
The Panorama solution allows for flexibility in design by assigning these functions to different physical pieces of the management infrastructure:
Flexible Panorama Design
While most current Panorama platforms have an upper limit of 1000 devices for management purposes (5000 firewalls using M-600 appliances or similarly resourced Panorama virtual appliances since PAN-OS 9.0), it is important for Panorama sizing to understand what the incoming log rate will be from all managed devices.
Read the following article on how to determine the log rate:
How to Determine Log Rate on VM Panorama or M-100 with a Log-Collector
There are three main factors when determining the amount of total storage required and how to allocate that storage via Distributed Log Collectors. These factors are:
These factors are discussed in more detail in this article :
Panorama Sizing and Design Guide
When choosing a platform for a Panorama deployment, consider the following factors.
Other considerations for Log Collector group design, High Availability and Log Redundancy are also discussed in much more detail in the Panorama Sizing and Design Guide.
