# Ingest Alerts from Prisma Cloud Compute

{% hint style="info" %}

### Notice

Ingestion of alerts from Prisma Cloud Compute requires a Cortex XDR Pro per GB license.
{% endhint %}

To receive alerts from Prisma Cloud Compute, first configure the Collection Integrations settings in Cortex XDR. In Prisma Cloud, you then must create a webhook, which provides the mechanism to interface Prisma Cloud’s alert system with Cortex XDR. After you set up your webhook, Cortex XDR begins receiving alerts from Prisma Cloud Compute.

Cortex XDR then groups these alerts into incidents and adds them to the Alerts table. When Cortex XDR begins receiving the alerts, it creates a new Cortex Query Language (XQL) dataset (`prisma_cloud_compute_raw`), which you can use to initiate XQL Search queries and to create Correlation Rules. The in-app XQL Library contain sample search queries.

Configure Cortex XDR to receive alerts from Prisma Cloud Compute.

1. Select **Settings** → **Configurations** → **Data Collection** → **Collection Integrations**.
2. In the **Prisma Cloud Compute** configuration, click **Add Instance**.
3. Specify the **Name** for the Prisma Cloud Compute Collector displayed in Cortex XDR.
4. **Save & Generate Token**. The token is displayed in a blue box, which is blurred in the image below.

   Click the Copy icon next to the **Username** and **Password**, and record them in a safe place, as you will need to provide them when you configure the Prisma Cloud Compute Collector for alerts integration. If you forget to record the key and close the window, you will need to generate a new key and repeat this process. When you are finished, click **Done** to close the window.
5. **Copy api url**.

   In the **Collection Integrations** page for the Prisma Cloud Compute Collector that you created, select **Copy api url**, and record it somewhere safe. You will need to provide this API URL when you set the **Incoming Webhook URL** as part of the configuration in Prisma Cloud Compute.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><h3>Note</h3><p>The URL format for the tenant is <code>https://api-&#x3C;tenant name>.xdr.us.paloaltonetworks.com/logs/v1/prisma</code>.</p></div>
6. Create a webhook as explained in the [Webhook Alerts](https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/prisma-cloud/prisma-cloud-admin-compute/alerts/webhook.html) section of the \[Prisma Cloud Administrator’s Guide (Compute)].
   1. Use the **Webhook** option to configure the webhook.
   2. In **Incoming Webhook URL**, paste the API URL that you copied and recorded from **Copy api url**.
   3. In **Credential Options**, select **Basic Authentication**, and use the **Username** and **Password** that you saved when you generated the token.
   4. Select **Container Runtime**.
   5. Click **Save**.

      In Cortex XDR, once alerts start to come in, a green check mark appears underneath the Prisma Cloud Compute Collector configuration with the amount of data received.
7. (Optional) Manage your Prisma Cloud Compute Collector.

   After you enable the Prisma Cloud Compute Collector, you can make additional changes, as needed.

   To modify a configuration, select any of the following options.

   * **Edit** the Prisma Cloud Compute Collector settings.
   * **Disable** the Prisma Cloud Compute Collector.
   * **Delete** the Prisma Cloud Compute Collector.
8. After Cortex XDR begins receiving data from Prisma Cloud Compute, you can use XQL Search to search for specific data using the `prisma_cloud_compute_raw` dataset and view alerts in the Alerts table. In the Cortex XDR Alerts table, the **Prisma Cloud Compute** alerts are listed as **Prisma Cloud Compute** in the **ALERT SOURCE** column and are classified as **Medium** in the **SEVERITY** column.

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-xdr-3.x/cortex-xdr-3.x-documentation/data-management/data-ingestion/palo-alto-networks-integrations/ingest-alerts-from-prisma-cloud-compute.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.
