Storage

The DEVICE | Settings > Storage > Overview page displays information for your network security appliance about:

  • Primary storage
  • Secondary storage (if available for your network security appliance)

  • Both Primary and Secondary storages are available in NSa 4700 series and higher, all NSsp and TZ series appliances.

  • Local storage available only in NSv series appliances.

The advantages of Storage are:

  • The Storage module stores diagnostic data, configuration backups, and logs from system logs, threat logs, Appflow Report data, and packet captures. Logs from 7.0.1 are preserved on the tab named Logs (Legacy),but no new logs are added.

  • Storage allows logs to persist when firewall is rebooted.
  • The system logs, threat logs, and packet capture is allocated 10% of the total storage space each.

  • The Appflow Report also gets 10% allocation.
