1. In the lower left area, click **Settings** → **Data Sources & Integrations**.
2. On the **Data Sources & Integrations** page, click a cloud service provider or other data source and then click the **View Details** link.
3. On the **Cloud Instances** screen, click an instance name link. A screen displaying the instance name opens.
4. At the bottom of the screen, under **Accounts** (AWS), **Subscriptions** (Azure), or **Projects** (GCP), right-click an item in the list and then in the context menu, select **Edit**.
5. In the screen that opens, under **Data assets classification options**, you can do the following:
   * Select or deselect managed services, which are native cloud services that are managed directly by your cloud provider, such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
   * Select or deselect self-managed assets, which are databases that you run on your cloud virtual machines.
   * Configure a cadence indicating how often a scan should be performed.

     <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>If you do not select a scanning cadence, the default setting is applied. For more information, contact your <a href="https://support.paloaltonetworks.com/Support/Index">Customer Support team</a>.</p></div>
6. Click **Save**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-posture-management/cortex-cloud-data-sources-and-connectors/administration-and-troubleshooting/manage-instances/how-to-configure-the-scanning-settings-for-supported-services.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
