Start Sending Logs to a New
Cortex Data Lake
Instance

If you want to start sending firewall logs to a new instance of
Cortex Data Lake
, you can use the
Cortex Data Lake
app to conveniently move firewalls and Panorama appliances from one instance of
Cortex Data Lake
to another.
When moving a firewall or Panorama appliance, keep these requirements in mind:
  • The destination
    Cortex Data Lake
    instance must be in the same customer support account as the original instance.
  • This process only works for firewalls and Panorama appliances running PAN-OS 10.1 or later with a device certificate installed. For PAN-OS 10.0 or earlier, onboard your firewall to a new instance.

Move Firewalls

  1. Navigate to the
    Cortex Data Lake
    app.
    1. Log in to the hub.
    2. Select the
      Cortex Data Lake
      instance to which you would like to move the devices.
  2. Move firewalls.
