You can manually submit files and URLs for WildFire analysis through the Advanced WildFire dashboard in Strata Cloud Manager or through the legacy WildFire portal. Palo Alto Networks recommends using Strata Cloud Manager for all manual sample submissions, as the WildFire portal is being deprecated. All Palo Alto Networks customers with a support account can manually submit up to five samples a day for analysis. If you have an Advanced WildFire or WildFire subscription, you can manually submit samples as part of your 1000 sample uploads daily limit; however, keep in mind that the 1000 sample daily limit also includes WildFire API submissions.

To upload samples through Strata Cloud Manager, you must first create a WildFire API token or migrate an existing API key to token-based authentication.
