# Zscaler Private Access

Configure Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) log collection in Cortex XSIAM.

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 XSIAM 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. |

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/configure-cortex-xsiam/cortex-xsiam-data-sources/vendor-specific-data-sources-and-connectors/zscaler/zscaler-private-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
