    Log Collector Configuration

    Select PanoramaManaged Collectors to manage Log Collectors. When you Add a new Log Collector as a managed collector, the settings you configure vary based on the location of the Log Collector and whether you deployed Panorama in a high availability (HA) configuration:
    • Dedicated Log Collector—When you add the Log Collector, initially the Interfaces tab doesn’t display. You must enter the serial number (Collector S/N) of the Log Collector, click OK, and then edit the Log Collector to display the interface settings.
    • Default Log Collector that is local to the solitary (non-HA) or active (HA) Panorama management server—After you enter the serial number (Collector S/N) of the Panorama management server, the Collector dialog displays only the Disks, Communication settings, and a subset of the General settings. The Log Collector derives its values for all other settings from the configuration of the Panorama management server.
    • (HA only) Default Log Collector that is local to the passive Panorama management server—Panorama treats this Log Collector as remote so you must configure it as you would configure a Dedicated Log Collector.
      The complete procedure to configure a Log Collector requires additional tasks.
