Firewall slowness

L4 Transporter

Hello,

 

I am facing an issue with my firewall. it is very slow in the GUI as well as CLI. if i click any tab in the firewall it is taking too much time to refresh and loading the page.

 

firewall model - PA-500

PAN-OS version - 8.1.15

 

below i check from my side:-

 

pa500> show system disk-space

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 3.8G 2.4G 1.3G 65% /
/dev/sda5 7.6G 5.2G 2.0G 73% /opt/pancfg
/dev/sda6 3.8G 1.5G 2.2G 41% /opt/panrepo
tmpfs 489M 210M 279M 43% /dev/shm
/dev/sda8 125G 84G 35G 71% /opt/panlogs

* in the resource follow, i observe some time appweb process spike mort than 100%

* Even the firewall is taking too long time to generate TECH support file . Once i check in the TECH support file there is some critical event is showing.

 I run both commands but after restart the management server, I was not able to access firewall GUI as well CLI for around 3-4 hours.

and the firewall performance is still the same.

@Jafar_Hussain 

 

Definitely some issue with firewall.

Never see this before where PA takes 3 to 4 hours for GUI access after restarting the MP.

I will recommend please open up tac support case for this issue.

Better reboot all the 3 web processes :

Also is the issue non stop only in working hours as it could overutlization or if you are using API scripts non stop ? It is rare but the data plane may affect the managment plane:
