I did find this particular article posted today: https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/docs/DOC-3154 This does describe my exact problem, however the workaround doesn't work for my particular case.

I have a deployment that has a pair of M-100s in HA and each of them has a full disk array that's split out into two separate log collector groups. It seems as if there's an issue of Panorama communicating to the collector devices that should be forwarding to the collector group. If I look at the local device I see: "'Log Collector log forwarding agent' is active and connected to x.x.x.x" However when I look at the statistics I see: traffic 2013/06/13 14:04:56 2013/06/13 14:05:13 40001 0 89 ...so I've sent 89 logs, and the last seq # is 40001, however the seq # is never acked (i.e. "0"). The firewalls are running 5.0.4 and Panorama is at 5.1. Thanks!

Thanks! Is there any reason why both of those particular managed collectors need to be in separate log collector groups? Per the documentation it states that it's not recommended to have the M-100s in groups exceeding 4TB, however since the logs can't automatically be sent to either of the two in the group dynamically I'm not sure why it would matter. Is there a specific technical reason that this is the case or is it just a recommendation not to confuse the fact that if one of those M-100 collectors would go down that the firewalls sending logs to that particular unit wouldn't automatically switch over?

Probably an obvious question but the documentation doesn't seem to reference this directly... If I have 2 x M-100s in HA, by default they are in a state where the primary is listed within the "Managed Collectors". From what I understand the logs are not sync'd between the primary and secondary - only the configuration aspect of Panorama. With that in mind my assumption is that the secondary can act as it's own collector while operating in secondary mode. Is this a true statement? If that's the operational mode given this setup I'm going to also assume that, from either M-100 we should be able to leverage reporting which will correlate across both logging stores between the pair? Thanks!
