Configure Storage Quotas and Expiration Periods for Logs and Reports

Configure the storage quotas and expiration periods for:
Logs of all types that a Panorama virtual appliance in Legacy mode receives from firewalls.
App Stats logs that Panorama receives from firewalls.
System and Config logs that Panorama and Log Collectors generate locally.
The Panorama management server stores these logs locally.
If you reduce a storage quota such that the current logs exceed it, after you commit the change, Panorama removes the oldest logs to fit the quota.
Select
Panorama
Setup
Management
and edit the Logging and Reporting Settings.
In the
Log Storage
settings, enter the storage
Quota (%)
for each log type.
When you change a percentage value, the page refreshes to display the corresponding absolute value (Quota GB/MB column) based on the total allotted storage on Panorama.
Enter the
Max Days
(expiration period) for each log type (range is 1 to 2,000).
By default, the fields are blank, which means the logs never expire.
Restore Defaults
if you want to reset the quotas and expiration periods to the factory defaults.
Configure the expiration period for reports that Panorama generates.
Select
Log Export and Reporting
and enter the
Report Expiration Period
in days (range is 1 to 2,000).
By default, the field is blank, which means reports never expire.
Click
OK

Configure the storage quotas and expiration periods for logs of all types (except App Stats logs) that M-600, M-500, M-200, M-100 appliances, or Panorama virtual appliance in Panorama mode receives from firewalls.
The local or Dedicated Log Collectors store these logs.
You configure these storage quotas at the Collector Group level, not for individual Log Collectors.
Select
Panorama
Collector Groups
and edit the Collector Group.
In the
General
settings, click the
Log Storage
value.
A value doesn’t display unless you assigned Log Collectors to the Collector Group. If the field displays 0MB after you assign Log Collectors, verify that you enable the disk pairs when you Configure a Managed Collector and that you committed the changes (
Panorama

Enter the storage
Quota(%)
for each log type.
When you change a percentage value, the page refreshes to display the corresponding absolute value (Quota GB/MB column) based on the total storage allotted to the Collector Group.
Enter the
Max Days
