Cortex Data Lake License and Activation
Determine whether to you need to activate your Cortex
Data Lake (formerly called the Logging Service) license on the Cortex
hub or in the Customer Support Portal.
Cortex Data Lake collects log data from next-generation
firewalls, GlobalProtect cloud service, and Traps management service.
When you purchase Cortex Data Lake, all firewalls registered to
your support account receive a Cortex Data Lake license. You’ll
also receive an auth code that you’ll need to activate the Cortex
Data Lake instance you purchased. You can activate your Cortex Data
Lake instance on the Cortex hub, or in the Customer Support Portal.
Where you activate Cortex Data Lake might depend on the other products
and services you’re using.
When your Cortex Data Lake subscription expires, you’ll have
a 30-day grace period to renew your license before log data is deleted.

| The hub: If you’re directly
onboarding firewalls (without Panorama), part of this workflow includes
generating the key that the firewalls need to security connect to
Cortex Data Lake. If you have Traps management service, when
you first activated the service you automatically received 100GB
of Cortex Data Lake log storage. If you’ve since decided to purchase
a Cortex Data Lake with larger storage capacity, you can merge the
logs from the 100GB tenant to the new Cortex Data Lake instance
as part of the activation workflow. |
| Customer Support Portal: Activating
Cortex Data Lake on the Customer Support Portal allows you to associate
your auth code with Panorama, and to get the Cloud Services plugin
that is required for Panorama and GlobalProtect cloud service. |
