# Set up Managed Threat Hunting

To get started with Managed Threat Hunting:

1. Open the Cortex XDR tenant and approve the pairing request sent to your tenant.
   1. Navigate to **Notifications** and locate the **Request for Pairing** notification.
   2. Select **Approve** and then **Yes** to confirm.

      After the request is approved, Cortex XDR displays the Managed Threat Hunting label at the top of the page.
2. Configure notification emails for the impact reports and threat inquiries you want to send.
   1. Select **Settings** → **Configurations** → **Managed Services**.
   2. Enter one or more email addresses to which you want to send reports and inquires and **ADD** each one.
   3. **Save** your changes.
3. Test the email, by going to your defined email address mailbox, and locate the **Welcome to the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR Managed Threat Hunting Service** email. If you did not receive the email, contact Customer Support.
4. (Optional) If desired, forward Managed Threat Hunting alerts to external sources such as email or slack from the Settings → Configurations → General → **Notifications** page.

   This forwards the alert and the detailed report in a PDF format.

## 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/multi-tenant/about-managed-threat-hunting/set-up-managed-threat-hunting.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.
