Manage Notification Profiles

Learn how to configure and manage Notification Profiles to subscribe to alerts you want to receive.
Notification Profiles
enable you to subscribe to alerts you want to receive. The
Notification Profiles
menu item is located at the same level as the
Insights
menu item.
The
Notification Profiles
page shows all notification profiles available for a specific tenant in the
Notification Subscriptions
table and all profile subscription logs for the tenants in the View Your Notification Subscription Log.
When you create or modify a notification profile, you can enable
Prisma Access
to send email or webhook alerts when it initially detects an issue and when the issue is resolved. These alert notifications describe the issue and impact, and include a link to
Prisma Access
where you can investigate further.
The Palo Alto Networks email address from which you receive alert notifications is noreply@paloaltonetworks.com.
For more information about the alert codes shown in the notification, see Alert Codes.
