Hi everyone
I changed last week from pa-3020 to pa-3220.
However, the log looks abnormal (7-8 minutes delay).
Looking at the log-receiver status with the command below, log discarded (queue full) is continuously increasing.
Does this mean log loss?
How can I solve this?

this does indeed mean that logs are being discarded (lost)
you could look into decreasing logging on some extremely chatty applications like DNS by creating a rule specific to these applications and disabling logging
