Configure a log forwarding profile, to enable WildFire logs to be forwarded to Panorama, an email account, SNMP, and/or a syslog server.
In this example you will set up email logs for when a sample is determined to be malicious. You can also enable Benign and Grayware logs to be forwarded, which will produce more activity if you are testing.
The firewall does not forward WildFire logs for blocked files to an email account.

and name the profile, for example, WildFire-Log-Forwarding.
In
