User usage report only shows data for a week in Network Monitor under App scope

[Pras]

Hi Guys,

Source User report only shows data for a week in Network Monitor under App scope while there are logs available for a month.

However, reports can be seen for a month when filtered by the Application.

Logging and reporting settings are set as per normal

Many thanks in advance

Regards,

For reference, that's quite a small logging disk - what model and version of PAN-OS is this?

Could you provide the output of
> show system logdb-quota

Particularly, the part showing the number of days stored for each log type would be useful to know. Here's an excerpt from my home VM-100:

Disk usage:
traffic: Logs and Indexes: 423M Current Retention: 90 days
threat: Logs and Indexes: 156M Current Retention: 95 days
system: Logs and Indexes: 579M Current Retention: 90 days
config: Logs and Indexes: 45M Current Retention: 74 days
alarm: Logs and Indexes: 24K Current Retention: 0 days
trsum: Logs and Indexes: 357M Current Retention: 90 days
hourlytrsum: Logs and Indexes: 291M Current Retention: 89 days
dailytrsum: Logs and Indexes: 153M Current Retention: 58 days
weeklytrsum: Logs and Indexes: 57M Current Retention: 85 days

I checked on my PA running 10.1.4-h4  no issues.

Which PAN OS version you are running?

Hi @MP18 ,

Is your disk quota the same as mine?

@KieraMitchell How to change the disk quota? After changing the days on GUI, it is not reflected when viewed through CLI (after commit)

Thanks

Hey @Pras;

The values reported in that section of the output of "show system logdb-quota" are the actual usage, not the configured values. That section is telling you that based on the storage quota provided, it's managed to store x number of days of that type of log.

For example, in the case of Daily Traffic Summary you have 242MB and 100 days configured. Based on the CLI output, with 242MB available for that type of log, the firewall is able to store 6 days worth of Daily Traffic Summary logs. You can then roughly figure out that if you want to actually retain 100 days worth of Daily Traffic Summary logs you'll need to increase the percentage of the disk allocated to that type of log.

In this case, to keep 100 days of Daily Threat Summary logs you'd need to increase its quota to about 4GB.

Since the logging disk on this firewall is relatively very small, my recommendation is that you configure log forwarding to something dedicated for log storage and query like Panorama, or forwarding via Syslog for example to a SIEM.

My daily traffic summary is % 1.5  69.11 MB   and max days tab has no value.

Also my Logging and storage value is  below on PA 220.

It might be different depending on the hardware

Log Storage

Total: 4.50 GB Unallocated: 193.24 MB

Thanks, @MP18 

@KieraMitchell Nice explanation, I now understand it better. This means to see the usage of users under the app scope for more days, we need to make sure the daily traffic summary storage is more, yeah?

[KieraMitchell]

Correct, yes!
