Telemetry decided to stop sending

L1 Bithead

UPDATE: This was a bug and was fixed after installing 10.2.10 

 

 

I have seen a couple others post this same issue on Reddit but figured this would be the place to ask. Does anyone know how to kick telemetry back into a working state? It was working and then last month on the 25th was the last time it sent. no errors, no fail messages, no changes, its just not sending. 

 

I have tried restarting the MGMT plane

disable telemetry -> commit -> enable telemetry -> commit

manually generate a telemetry file

 

no luck. Did PAN force disable telemetry in relation to CVE-2024-3400? I have applied all of the updates/patches/mitigations and validated I have no IOCs so I am not worried about having it enabled specially since it turns out that its not required for the exploit to be successful so at this point I am at a loss as to what to do next aside from submit a TAC case that is really not super important and will just take up space right now while they are dealing with other things. 

 

I was working through BPA assessment evaluations and improvements and now have to fix this to continue 😕

 

UPDATE:

The CLI will provide more details and so I am now able to see the actual last time it generated a telemetry file was 4/17/24, funny thing is the UI reports the 25th so they don't match. You can see here my attempts to manually kick off the process was today and here is where I learned a bit more... the telemetry generation gets stuck at 80% and sits forever until I issue the command to cancel it.

After 5 minutes of checking every so often you can see it gets to 80% and then that is it, it never completes, never finishes, never stops, never ends, unless I tell it to abort the process.

UPDATE2:

nothing useful here in the log file if I tail it

 

 

tail lines 200 follow yes mp-log device_telemetry_send.log

This is like a new command. It was not there months ago.

Telemetry doesn't work, so I've done some troubleshooting. I startet "Generate Telemetry File" 2 days ago. It got stuck at 80%. Found out this was a known bug (PAN-250062), and upgraded to 10.2.12-h2 which should have the fix. Even after a upgrade/restart, the collect now hangs:

I've tried "request device-telemetry cancel-collect-now", but no change. What to do?

I downgraded to prefered release, and today again to new prefered release and its started working.
