Question

An engineer troubleshoots a high availability (HA) link that is unreliable. Where can the engineer view what time the interface went down?

Options

  • AMonitor > Logs > Traffic
  • BDevice > High Availability > Active/Passive Settings
  • CMonitor > Logs > System
  • DDashboard > Widgets > High Availability

Explanation

System logs on Palo Alto firewalls record infrastructure-level events including interface state changes, HA failover events, link up/down notifications, and timestamps for each. When an HA link becomes unreliable or goes down, a System log entry is generated with the exact timestamp and details of the event. Traffic logs capture session data, the HA configuration page shows current settings (not historical events), and Dashboard widgets show current HA state - none of these provide a timestamped history of interface state changes the way System logs do.
