Log Collector question

[amy.hazelwood]

Please explain:

Panorama must be running the same (or later) software release as Log Collectors but must have the same or an earlier content release version:

• Software release version

  —If your Panorama management server is not already running the same or a later software release than the release to which you intend to update Log Collectors, then you must install the same or a later Panorama release on Panorama (see Install Content and Software Updates for Panorama) before you update any Log Collectors.
• Content release version

  —For content release versions, you should ensure that all Log Collectors are running the latest content release version or, at minimum, running a later version than is running on Panorama; if not, then first update managed firewalls (using Panorama) and then update Log Collectors before you update the content release version on the Panorama management server.

If it is local on Panorama, it will be running the same code as Panorama.

Great, thank you for the clarification.

Same principle applies to Panorama management of firewalls as with log-collectors.  Panorama must be at the same level of PAN-OS code or higher.

What if the log collector is local?

If it is local on Panorama, it will be running the same code as Panorama.
