Hey guys,

I have a palo alto PA-500 that I have added to unimus. when i run the discovery it can see that it is a palo alto and i can even run a manual backup that completes properly.

I set up a schedule to have this device backed up nightly but it fails every time it tries to run on the schedule. If I run the backup manually it completes just fine.

The log shows the message "login_sequence_error" in the GUI. If I look in the log file I see the following:

Code: Select all

Thanks for any help that can be provided!

Hi,

Usually if you see errors such as "No recognizable data received" during device login (CliLoginDataAnalyzer), it helps to set the "inter-connection-delay" higher. Here is a wiki article that shows how:
https://wiki.unimus.net/display/UNPUB/C ... t+timeouts

If that doesn't help, please enable Device Output Logging and Debug logging in Unimus.
(Zones > Default > Debug Mode > Device output logging AND Debug loging)

After this is enabled, simply wait for a scheduled job to finish/fail.
After that, please download both log files, create a ticket on the Portal, and attach the files to the ticket.

I have updated the timeout settings as suggested in the article you linked. I will see if the job completes tonight. Thanks!
