Question 173

An administrator accidentally closed the commit window/screen before the commit was finished.

Which two options could the administrator use to verify the progress or success of that commit task? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: A, B

    To verify the progress or success of a commit task, the administrator can use Task Manager and System Logs. Task Manager provides real-time information on the progress of tasks, including commit operations. System Logs contain entries that indicate the start and completion of commit jobs, thereby confirming their success. Traffic Logs do not contain relevant information about commit processes, and Configuration Logs show commit submissions but not the progress or completion details required.

confusionOptions: AB

AB is what I would select here. Question says "progress or success". The System log on one of my FWs says things like: "Commit job succeeded. Completion time = date time, JobID=number. User = username" and also "Commit job started processing. Dequeue time = date time. JobID=number. User = username", so this can show progress and/or success. Task Manager is obviously correct and can show progress and/or success. I would not go for D. Configuration Logs as there you can see success or fail and the exact config diff, but you can't find progress.

A&B progress can't be identified by configuration logs.

The correct answer is A and B. I don't know if this information used to be contained within system logs, but they are no longer there; this information is only available within the task manager and configuration logs. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/8-1/pan-os-admin/monitoring/view-and-manage-logs/log-types-and-severity-levels/config-logs https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/9-1/pan-os-web-interface-help/web-interface-basics/task-manager.html

I meant AD

D is wrong. Configurations Logs shows only commit submission but not completion. For Completion you must go to System Logs. Just checked in my lab.

MarshpillowzOptions: AB

A and B correct

DenskyDenOptions: AB

AB. 100%

UFanatOptions: AB

You can see that Commit submitted in Configuration Logs, but if you want to check it - you should look at Systems Logs. It's General Event: Commit job succeeded. Completion time...

firebOptions: AB

Correct answers: A & B

Jared28Options: AB

AB confirmed in a live test. D, configuration log, simply has the Result as "submitted", the system log said "Commit job succeeded..."

unknidOptions: AD

It's A & D. If you check the system logging (e.g with "decription contains 'commit'", all you'll see is the autocommit completion, nothing else). Configuration logging shows commit succeeded successfully.

D is wrong. Configurations Logs shows only commit submission but not completion. For Completion you must go to System Logs

D is wrong. Configurations Logs (D) shows only commit submission but not completion. For Completion you must go to System Logs (B). Just checked in my lab.
