PCNSE Manage, Monitor and Operate Practice Question
Which THREE are valid methods to collect logs from a firewall to Panorama? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the REST API's management capabilities with log collection, or assume CSV import is a valid method, when in fact Panorama only supports real-time log forwarding via syslog or dedicated collectors.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configuring the firewall to send syslog to Panorama's log collector.
A firewall can be configured to send syslog data directly to Panorama's log collector, which is a standard method for centralized logging. This leverages the syslog protocol to forward logs, allowing Panorama to aggregate and analyze them without requiring additional infrastructure.

Using the Panorama collector agent on the Panorama server.
Why this is correct
