Q1. Where is unknown pcap stored?[Device] > [Setup] > [Management] > [ Logging and Reporting Settings]App Pkt Capture ?


Application PCAPs are stored  at the following path /opt/panlogs/session/pan/application/ .

These  PCAPs will appear in the traffic log as a little green arrow .

You can use the  CLI command view-pcap application-pcap <date>/"   to view the Application pcaps

[Device] > [Setup] > [Management] > [ Logging and Reporting Settings] is where you can alter the Storage Quota for various logs and PCAPs
