# Resources required to enable access to XDR collectors

To enable access to XDR Collectors components, you must allow access to various Palo Alto Networks resources. If you use the specific Palo Alto Networks [App-IDs](https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/8-1/pan-os-admin/app-id) indicated in the table, you do not need to explicitly allow access to the resource. A dash (-) indicates there is no App-ID coverage for a resource.

{% hint style="info" %}
Some of the IP addresses required for access are registered in the United States. As a result, some GeoIP databases do not correctly pinpoint the location in which IP addresses are used. All customer data is stored in your deployment region, regardless of the IP address registration and restricts data transmission through any infrastructure to that region. For considerations, see [Plan and prepare](file:///document/preview/914342#UUID-5822a3de-172f-230e-83e3-642121116a63)Plan and prepare.

Throughout this topic, `<xsiam-tenant>` refers to the chosen subdomain of your Cortex Cloud tenant and `<region>` is the region in which your Strata Logging Service is deployed.
{% endhint %}

Refer to the following tables for the FQDNs, IP addresses, ports, and App-ID coverage for your deployment.

For IP address ranges in GCP, refer to the following tables for IP address coverage for your deployment.

* <https://www.gstatic.com/ipranges/goog.json>: Refer to this list to look up and allow access to the IP address ranges subnets.
* <https://www.gstatic.com/ipranges/cloud.json>: Refer to this list to look up and allow access to the IP address ranges associated with your region.

The following table shows the required resources by region.

# 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-runtime-security/cortex-cloud-data-sources-and-connectors/generic-on-premise-data-collectors/xdr-collectors/resources-required-to-enable-access-to-xdr-collectors.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.
