opcmdhistory log missing in PanOS9.1

[batd2]

I noticed that the “opcmdhistory” log disappeared in Panorama after upgrading to PanOS9.1. It was there in 9.0 and previous  versions.

Do you know why it changed and if the information is in another log file?

I was using it for troubleshooting and detecting cli commands executed by other admins, API calls, etc.

starting from PAN-OS 9.1.2 you can find the CLI history in req_stats.log

> less mp-log req_stats.log

Thanks for your quick response @reaper 

It is very useful to know about the new "req_stats.log" file. 

It looks like "req_stats.log" has the GUI and API commands, which is very helpful, but it does not seem to be showing a log of the CLI commands.

it is, but in API format

here's  "show system info"

@reaper Thanks. Sorry I have missed that previously. 

This gives the information we need. Just a shame that it does not log the username of the admin executing the command...

Hello ,

Are there any commands  on v10.2 to check command history on cli other than this one ? or can this be displayed in a more readable format?

Thanks
