Learn about the telemetry tiers.

Beginning with PAN-OS 11.2.8 and later releases, the telemetry autoenablement feature configures telemetry to be enabled by default on your devices. Upon onboarding a new device (Panorama or firewall), telemetry is automatically enabled with settings centrally controlled through . This centralized approach ensures consistent telemetry settings across your entire environment. Metrics are automatically streamed to your data residency region, eliminating the need for manual configuration. You can manage telemetry settings from either your hub or Strata Cloud Manager.

To ensure regulatory compliance and streamline telemetry enablement, telemetry is categorized into two tiers:

Diagnostic tier: Provides crucial information which enables users to determine system operational status and identify immediate causes of system failures. It includes features essential for basic operational awareness, effective troubleshooting of common issues, and monitoring critical system aspects.
Full tier: Expands upon the diagnostic tier by providing specialized, granular, and feature-rich capabilities. This tier facilitates deep analysis, performance tuning, and proactive system optimization, moving beyond immediate problem resolution.
