Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 8

An administrator is using Panorama and multiple Palo Alto Networks NGFWs. After upgrading all devices to the latest PAN-OSֲ® software, the administrator enables log forwarding from the firewalls to Panorama. Pre-existing logs from the firewalls are not appearing in Panorama.
Which action would enable the firewalls to send their pre-existing logs to Panorama?

Answer options

• A. Use the import option to pull logs into Panorama.
• B. A CLI command will forward the pre-existing logs to Panorama.
• C. Use the ACC to consolidate pre-existing logs.
• D. The log database will need to exported form the firewalls and manually imported into Panorama.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a specific CLI command can be used to forward existing logs from the firewalls to Panorama. Options A and C do not apply as they do not facilitate the direct transfer of pre-existing logs. Option D, while it suggests a method for getting logs into Panorama, is not necessary when the CLI command is available.
