17. Which log type records changes made to firewall configuration and administrative actions?

Traffic logs

Config logs

System logs

Authentication logs

18. In Palo Alto Networks, what does the 'Receive Timestamp' field in logs represent?

When the firewall processed the log entry

When the event actually occurred on the network

When the log was forwarded to a server

When the user acknowledged the alert

19. Which protocol is commonly used to forward logs from a Palo Alto Networks firewall to an external server?

HTTP

Syslog

DNS

SNMP

20. What is the primary purpose of threat logs in Palo Alto Networks firewalls?

Track configuration changes
