Log Collector Configuration

Select PanoramaManaged Collectors to manage Log Collectors. When you Add a new Log Collector as a managed collector, the settings you configure vary based on the location of the Log Collector and whether you deployed Panorama in a high availability (HA) configuration:

Dedicated Log Collector—When you add the Log Collector, initially the Interfaces tab doesn’t display. You must enter the serial number (Collector S/N) of the Log Collector, click OK, and then edit the Log Collector to display the interface settings.
Default Log Collector that is local to the solitary (non-HA) or active (HA) Panorama management server—After you enter the serial number (Collector S/N) of the Panorama management server, the Collector dialog displays only the Disks, Communication settings, and a subset of the General settings. The Log Collector derives its values for all other settings from the configuration of the Panorama management server.
(HA only) Default Log Collector that is local to the passive Panorama management server—Panorama treats this Log Collector as remote so you must configure it as you would configure a Dedicated Log Collector.

The complete procedure to configure a Log Collector requires additional tasks.
