Why Panorama commit is always not greyed out

Why Commit in Panorama is not greyed out even though there is nothing to commit

[jeremy.larsen · Accepted solution]

This is expected behavior.  I believe it is related to the fact that you can manually push configs and force overwrites on PAN devices connected to Panorama.

I beleive this has changed in PANOS 9.0

• Commit is unavailable (grayed out) when you have no pending changes on Panorama and all managed firewalls and Log Collectors are in sync with Panorama (which means that you have successfully pushed all changes you made on Panorama to all managed firewalls and appliances).
• Commit displays as a green downward arrow (  ) when you have pending changes on Panorama that must be committed and pushed to managed devices.
• Commit displays as a yellow sideways arrow (  ) when managed firewalls and Log Collectors are out of sync, and you must push the committed Panorama configuration.
• When you Commit and Push your configuration changes on Panorama, you must Edit Selections to specify the Push Scope to managed devices.
