That is described in the help file

 

"(PA-5200 Series and PA-7000 Series firewalls only) Select to send logs to every Log Collector in the preference list. Panorama uses round-robin load balancing to select which Log Collector receives the logs at any given moment. This is disabled by default: firewalls send logs only to the first Log Collector in the list unless that Log Collector becomes unavailable (see Devices / Collectors)."

We have 5220 and they sends the logs directly to the 1st preferred log collector.

If that log collector dies then it will send to second preferred list.

 

How does Panorama decide which log collector will get logs as logs are not going to panorama they are going to m500 first?
