Cortex Data Lake enables AI-based innovations for cybersecurity with the industry’s only approach to normalizing and stitching together your enterprise’s data. For more information, see About Cortex Data Lake and Cortex Data Lake for Panorama-Managed Firewalls. Cortex Data Lake (CDL) can now collect log data from CN-Series next-generation firewall. When you purchase a Cortex Data Lake license, all firewalls registered to your support account receive a Cortex Data Lake license. You will also receive a magic link that you will need to use to activate your Cortex Data Lake instance.

To get started with CN-Series firewall CDL logging, you must ensure that you Install the Kubernetes Plugin and Set up Panorama for your CN-Series Firewall. You must provide the device certificate to the CN-MGMT pod for CDL connectivity. It is important to register your CN-MGMT pod with a CSP account to ensure that CN-MGMT pod is reflected in your CDL instance. Add the valid PIN-ID and PIN-value to

pan-cn-mgmt-secret.yaml

file to successfully install the device certificate. The CN-Series firewall requires a device certificate that authorizes secure access to CDL. For more information see Install a Device Certificate on the CN-Series Firewall.

After you deploy your CN-Series firewall, verify that your CN-MGMT pod is visible on your CSP account, under

Registered Devices

. For more information see, Register the Firewall. You must ensure that you Configure your CN-Series firewall with Panorama and Create a CN-Series Deployment Profile on your CSP account and use the auth code to push licenses from Panorama to your CN-Series firewall.
