# View Guard Rails warnings and errors

The Cortex XSOAR **Guard Rails** page provides a list of warnings and errors that occur during incident ingestion, investigation, and response. Guard Rails allow you to detect potential misconfigurations and help you optimize your automation settings to maintain peak system performance.

You can forward the list of guard rails warnings and errors to a syslog server by going to Settings & Info → **Settings** → **System** → **Notifications** and clicking **Add Forwarding Configuration**.

#### Cortex XSOAR Guard Rails page

The Cortex XSOAR Guard Rails page displays a table with a list of warnings and errors and their details.

Errors and warnings may be generated for unusually high levels of incident ingestion, unusually large attachments, unusually large numbers of entries in an incident, and other situations that could affect system performance.

Access the Guard Rails page from Cortex XSOAR Settings & Info → **Settings** → **System**.

The table shows the following information:

* **ID**: (by default hidden) The log number.
* **Timestamp**: The date time the error or warning occurred.
* **Type**: The object type the error or warning occurred on, for example incident or indicator.
* **Subtype**: The object subtype (N/A if it doesn't exist), for example entries or attachments.
* **Level**: Whether the item is an error or a warning.
* **Object ID**: The ID of the restricted object.
* **Count**: The number of times a specific item occurred in the last calendar day.
* **Description**: A short description of the error or warning.

## 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-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.14/troubleshoot-and-reference/troubleshoot/view-guard-rails-warnings-and-errors.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.
