The earliest recollection of this bug is traced back to PAN-OS 8.1.17 - January 08, 2024.
This bug is fixed in PAN-OS versions 9.1.5, 8.1.17.
Fixed an issue where, after rebooting the firewall, the SNMP object identifier (OID) for TCP connections per second (panVsysActiveTcpCps / .1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.2.3.9.1.6.1) returned 0 until another OID was pulled. Additionally, after a restart of a daemon ( snmpd ), if the above OID was called before other OIDs, there was an approximate 10 second delay in populating the data pulled by each OID.
