To improve troubleshooting depth and analysis, GlobalProtect administrators can now control the number of rotating log files maintained on Windows and macOS endpoints. This increased log history helps you investigate complex issues more thoroughly. You can control the total number of log files on Windows and macOS devices using specific settings in the Windows Registry or the macOS plist. Note that these registry keys are not available on Windows UWP or if the GlobalProtect app is in the FIPS-CC mode.

Key	Controls Log File Count For	Value Range	Individual File Size
PanGPSLogFileCount	PanGPS.exe process	2-20 If a value is set outside this range, the client will treat it as the nearest boundary (2 or 20) If this key does not exist,10 files are saved	5MB
LogFileCount	PanGPA, PanGpHip, and PanGpHipMp processes	2-20 If a value is set outside this range, the client will treat it as the nearest boundary (2 or 20) If this key does not exist,2 files are saved	5MB

The log files are numbered sequentially For a setting of N files, the file names are as follows:

For example, if PanGPSLogFileCount is set to 5, the logs would be PanGPS.log, PanGPS.1.log, PanGPS.2.log, PanGPS.3.log, and PanGPS.4.log. The last file (PanGPS.4.log in our example) contains the latest logs.
