Log Collector RAID Disk Settings
- Panorama > Managed Collectors
> Disks
By default, M-Series appliances are shipped with the first RAID 1 disk pair installed in bays A1
and A2. In the software, the disk pair in bays A1 and A2 is named Disk Pair A. The
remaining bays are named sequentially: Disk Pair B, Disk Pair C, and so on. For example,
the M-600 appliance supports up to 12 disk pairs. You can
install pairs of 8TB disks within the same appliance.
The Panorama virtual appliance supports up to 12 virtual logging
disks for 24TB of storage capacity.
After you add disk pairs, the Log Collector redistributes its
existing logs across all the disks, which can take hours for each
terabyte of logs. During the redistribution process, the maximum
log ingestion rate is reduced. In the page, the
Log Redistribution State column indicates the completion status
of the process as a percentage.
If you use an
SNMP manager for centralized
monitoring, you can see loggings statistics in the panLogCollector MIB.
