Panorama Confusion

[MickBall]

I have a PA-3020 V8.1.7 and Panoram V8.18 VM (ESX)

I simply require Panorama to both manage the 3020 and collect it's logs.

I have tried to follow endless instructions on how to achieve this but now seem to be struggling with different Panorama modes and log collectors...

I have added the additional 2T disc as required and although I can manage the firewall via templates I cannot collect any logs from it.

3020 cli   show log-collector preference list ...        Log collector preference list does not exist.

any further advice please...

Many thanks in advance.....

Hmmm, make sure  you have setup a log forwarding profile on the FWs to PUSH the logs to the Panorama.

I did not see that you had done this yet.

[MP18]

run this command on the FW

show logging status 

on the PAnorama run this command 

show logging-status device serial no?

try restarting the log receiver on fw

debug software restart process log-receiver

Thanks for your replys

@SteveCantwell  yes, good point but i do have a log forward profile configured. not sure if it's working but it's there...

@MP18  as below.  I think my issue is with Panorama. do you run a similar setup.  if so.. do you have a local log collector configured on Panorama VM.   the instructions say that after I have added another 2TB and restart panorama it will auto add a local log collector but this is not happening.

I will post this instruction when i find it again.
