Enhanced Logging for the Selected GlobalProtect Gateway

Identify issues to determine the reason for choosing the specific gateway.
To help you to identify details as to why the GlobalProtect app chose to connect to a specific gateway, the GlobalProtect app now collects and reports information to identify gateway selection criteria and latency between the gateway and the endpoint. By enabling the
Log Gateway Selection Criteria
option as a dynamic app configuration, the GlobalProtect app can now send the enhanced logs for the gateway selection criteria to the firewall. Information about the gateway selection criteria can help you to identify the priority and response time of the selected gateway, the list of gateway connection attempts, and statistics about the pre-tunnel and post-tunnel network latency. The enhanced log fields for the gateway selection criteria have been added to the GlobalProtect logs in
