Dear Team,
I'm using 9.1.12-h3 PAN-OS.
When entering the 'show system resources' command, one zombie process is identified as below.
In detail, it is confirmed that the 'mgmtsrvr' process is in a zombie state.
I would like to know what caused the process to be judged as a zombie.
I am aware of 'PAN-175211' fixed in version 9.1.13. When checking through previous cases, i know that the zombie process was caused by a bug in a specific process.
I think it's a bug, but if there are other possible causes, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Kyungjun,

Hi @CHOE-KyungJun ,
In most cases zombie processes are related to memory leaks and/or unresponsive processes.
You could try checking the mp-logs for fail entries if you can find it but my recommendation would be to update your PAN-OS version because 9.1.12-h3 dates from previous calendar year (12/20/2021).
The recommended version on the PAN-OS 9.1 train is 9.1.14-h4 at the moment of this writing.
Kind regards,
-Kiwi.
