Is it possible that we can retrieve the logs that are purged in palo alto firewall. We have PA 450 and we are not abe to see logs before 2 days and it is showing retention days as 1. But is it possible to retrieve the logs before 3 days

Hello @Ishfaq
logs in a Firewall are stored in files and purged when the log quota is reached. When purged, logs are deleted by the oldest date directory or log file. To my knowledge there is no way to retrieve purged logs.
I would recommend to review log quotes and set log forwarding to 3rd party syslog server and/or to Panorama: https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClRxCAK
