  • In the event of a logging failure caused by the lack of audit record storage capacity, the Palo Alto Networks security platform must continue generating and storing audit records if possible, overwriting the oldest audit records in a first-in-first-out manner.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;It is critical that when the Palo Alto Networks security platform is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
