After purchasing
Strata Logging Service
, you should have received an email with a link to activate
Strata Logging Service
. Click on the link and follow the steps below to complete activation.
You do not need to follow this procedure if you have already activated
Strata Logging Service
as part of another product purchase (for example,
Prisma Access
).
If you are using PAN-OS 10.0 or later firewalls, and if you were sharing telemetry data with Palo Alto Networks prior to purchasing a
Strata Logging Service
license, then you already have a small, unlicensed
Strata Logging Service
instance. This instance exists solely for the purpose of processing your PAN-OS telemetry data.
When you activate your license Palo Alto Networks will upgrade this tenant to a full
Strata Logging Service
instance, so long as the region you use to send telemetry data to Palo Alto Networks is the same region that you use when you activate your
Strata Logging Service
license. If you use different regions for this purpose, then the small telemetry-specific tenant will not upgrade to your new, licensed
Strata Logging Service
instance.
When your
Strata Logging Service
subscription expires, you’ll have a 30-day grace period to renew your license before log data is deleted.
  1. Click on the link in your purchase confirmation email.
  2. Select your
    Strata Logging Service
    subscription and click
    Activate Subscription
    .
  3. Log in to the hub with your Palo Alto Networks Customer Support credentials.
  4. Select the customer support account that you want to associate with your subscription.
  5. If you are activating the
    Strata Logging Service
    instance in a new tenant service group (TSG), select
    Create New
    from the Tenant drop-down list and then enter a tenant name.
    Or
    If you want to add the
    Strata Logging Service
    instance to an existing TSG, select the TSG from the drop-down list. A tenant can have only one
    Strata Logging Service
    instance running on it.
  6. Select the geographical
    Region
    for your
    Strata Logging Service
    instance.
  7. Add a
    Strata Logging Service
    instance to the TSG.
    Cortex XDR cannot receive logs from
    Strata Logging Service
    tenants that are created with a partial license. The partial licensing is allowed when you activate
    Strata Logging Service
    for
    Prisma Access
    only.
  8. Verify the storage space and region for your
    Strata Logging Service
    instance.
    If you choose to store
    Strata Logging Service
    data (after activation, onboard and configure your device and click
    Inventory
    > turn on
    Store Log Data
    to store log data),
    Strata Logging Service
    will keep a record of your logs for future reference. If you choose not to,
    Strata Logging Service
    will delete the logs after they are used for whatever analytics services you have subscribed to (for example, IoT Security), without saving a copy.
  9. Review your selections, Agree to the Terms and Conditions, and click
    Activate Now
    .
  10. Verify the
    Strata Logging Service
    status.
    1. Sign In
      to the hub at https://apps.paloaltonetworks.com/.
    2. Select the
      Strata Logging Service
      instance for which you want to view status. If you have multiple
      Strata Logging Service
      instances, hover over the
      Strata Logging Service
      tile and then select from the list of available instances associated with your account.
    3. Confirm the following Status details:
      • Service status and the amount of storage used as a ratio of total storage you have purchased.
      • The geographic region where your logs are stored.
      • Verify your configuration on the different log types (sources) from which the
        Strata Logging Service
        is receiving logs, and the log storage space allocated for each log subtype.
  11. Allow traffic from your source to connect to
    Strata Logging Service
    .
