Constant "management server failed to send phase 1 to client logd"???

[Eric_Troldahl]

Any thoughts on getting rid of a constant "management server failed to send phase 1 to client logd" on Panorama when attempting to commit?  Issue has existed since at least PanOS 10.2 and we are currently on Recommended version 11.1.4-h7.

Even when I check that logd is running, I may get this same message 3 to 8 (or more?) times before the same commit goes through successfully.  I quit using the GUI because at least when CLI commit fails it is just "up arrow, then <Enter>"

Sorry to say, but my call to support over this ended when the command went through on the 4th try.  If they had waited, I could have added an address that wasn't used anywhere and it would have failed again!!!

Regards,

Eric

Hello!

You're experiencing a persistent "management server failed to send phase 1 to client logd" error on Panorama. Check logs using tail follow yes mp-log configd.log and tail follow yes mp-log devsrv.log, restart the logd process with debug software restart process logd, ensure firmware is updated, and consider clearing logs.

Hi @Eric_Troldahl ,

Thanks for info, Issue mostly happens due to due to the large configuration size. Refer the below kb related to config size and reduce the config size and verify.

I already checked the size of configs.  That shouldn't be the issue unless the KB is wrong.
