The Palo Alto Networks Cortex adapter uses the Palo Alto Networks Cortex Hub to get information about Traps and GlobalProtect agents.

To connect the Palo Alto Cortex adapter, the adapter communicates with an Axonius Cloud endpoint that is authorized to fetch information from the Cortex hub.
Note that this adapter is not currently supported by Palo Alto for integration with Axonius Customer-hosted deployments.

Parameters

  2. HTTPS Proxy (optional) - A proxy to use when using the Palo Alto Cortex API.
