I am currently facing an issue where Configuration and System logs are not being forwarded to the syslog server, even though the configuration appears to be correct.
Anyone encountered this issue? despite being following the ref article by Palo?
How to Forward Config Logs to Syslog Server
03-26-2026 07:03 AM
A couple of questions:

1. This is an existing setup. Traffic and other logs are being successfully forwarded to the syslog server; however, Config and System logs have never been forwarded.
2. Service Route is currently set to "Use Default."
3. Since traffic logs are working, it appears the dataplane path is fine. I also tried validating logs sent and I could see that Config logs are sent as expected. Below o/p,

Having the same issue since early February, opened a case with Palo.
All other syslog types are sending
Running 11.1.13
CLI syslog forwarding show dequeued packets, but most of the time no sent packets.
Interesting on a reboot or restart of the management plane it will then dump all the config logs but still broke after the reboot. Seeing dropped packets. Palo and Syslog server are on the same zone.
Have a DR firewall same hardware, PAN-OS, syslog configuration and same syslog server and its working.
I believe Palo has a bug in 11.1

@ChrisWietharn Today I noticed a strange thing, when i execute >debug log-receiver statistics, my Config logs written rate is not increasing whereas System logs are continue to increase. Despite of this, no logs are sent. I am gonna clear the session between Syslog and MGT IP and see the results. Has Palo provided a fix for this issue to date?
