Generate a Stats Dump File for a Managed Firewall
Generate a stats dump file for a managed firewall from
the Panorama™ management server.
Generate a set of XML reports that summarize
the network traffic over the last seven days for a single firewall
managed by the Panorama™ management server or for all firewalls
managed by Panorama. After you select a managed firewall and generate the
stats dump file, you can download the stats dump file locally to
your device.
The Palo Alto Networks or Authorized Partner
systems engineer use the stat dump file to create a Security Lifecycle
Review (SLR) and to perform security checkups after you successfully
deploy your managed firewalls to help strength your security posture.
The SLR highlights activity found on the network and the associated
business or security risks that may be present. For more information
on the SLR, contact your Palo Alto Networks or Authorized Partner
systems engineer.
Stats dump file
generation for multiple managed firewalls can take multiple hours
to complete. During this time, you are unable to navigate from the stats
dump file generation user interface so it is recommended to generate
the stats dump file from the CLI so you can continue using the Panorama
web interface.
Palo Alto Networks recommends generating a
stats dump file for all managed firewalls from the Panorama CLI using
the following command. Panorama must be able to reach your SCP or
TFTP server to successfully export the stats dump file.
- SCP Serveradmin> scp export stats-dump to <username@hostname:SCP_export_path>TFTP Serveradmin> tftp export stats-dump to <tftp_host_address>
- Log in to the Panorama Web Interface.Select PanoramaSupport and navigate to the Stats Dump File.Select a managed firewall for which to generate a stats dump file.It is recommended that you generate a stats dump file for a single managed firewall from the Panorama web interface.A stats dump file is generated for All devices by default if you do not select a managed firewall.

Generate Stats Dump File.Click Yes when prompted to proceed generating the stats dump file.A progress bar of the stats dump file generation status is displayed.Generation may take up to an hour for a single managed firewall depending on the volume of log data. You are unable to navigate from the stats dump file generation status window during this time.Click Download Stats Dump File to download the stats dump file to your local device.The downloaded stat dumps file is in a tar.gz file format.![]()
