# Log forwarding

Configure Cortex AgentiX log forwarding and notifications for email, Slack, and syslog receivers.

Logs provide information about events that occur in the system. These logs are a valuable tool in troubleshooting issues that might arise in your Cortex AgentiX tenant.

To stay informed about important alerts and events, you can configure your notifications and specify the type of logs you want to forward. You can choose to receive these notifications through an email account, a Slack channel, or a syslog receiver.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/onboard-cortex-agentix/post-deployment-steps/log-forwarding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
