You can configure collecting Zscaler Private Access logs using a Broker VM Syslog Collector applet or with a content pack integration (onboarded after July 26, 2026):

| Syslog Collector applet overview                                              | If you use Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) in your network as an alternative to VPNs, you can forward your network logs to Cortex XDR from Zscaler Private Access using the Broker VM Syslog Collector applet in a LEEF format.                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

| Link to content pack/integration instructions (onboarded after July 26, 2026) | The [ZscalerZPA](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/details/ZscalerZPA) content pack provides data modeling capabilities for event logs ingested from the Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) service, which enables secure access to internal applications and services. It includes the **`Zscaler Private Access Modeling Rule`**. Event collection relies on configuring the generic Syslog Collector on the Broker VM. |

## 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-5.x/configure-cortex-xdr/cortex-xdr-data-sources/vendor-specific-data-sources/zscaler/zscaler-private-access.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.
