# Configure log and notification forwarding

You can send management audit logs, integration logs or guard rails log notifications to an email distribution list and/or a syslog server. You need to add the syslog server to **External Applications** to select from the list of servers.

1. Navigate to **Settings & Info** → **Settings** → **System** → **Notifications** → **Add Forwarding Configuration**.
2. Enter a name and a description for the configuration.
3. From the **Log Type** list, select the option.
   * Management Audit Logs
   * Integration Logs
   * Guard Rails
4. Define the scope.

   To select a subset of the selected logs, click the filter button, select the relevant filters, and perform a search. For example, if you want to forward only notifications related to API keys, click the filter button, select **Type**, and then select the **Api Key** value.
5. Click **Next**.
6. Update the following fields:

   | Field                 | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               | Mandatory |
   | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
   | Distribution List     | Add at least one email address to receive notifications for management audit logs, integration logs or guard rails log.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   | Yes       |
   | Notification Timezone | Change the notification timezone. The notification timezone only affects the time listed in email notifications. You can use the timezone configured in Cortex XSOAR or select Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).                                                                                                                          | No        |
   | Grouping Timeframe    | <p>Change the grouping time frame. The grouping time frame specifies how often Cortex XSOAR sends notifications. Every 30 notifications aggregated within this time frame are sent together. To send every notification as soon as it is generated, set the time frame to 0.</p><p>By default, the grouping time frame is 10 minutes.</p> | No        |
   | Subject               | Select to generate the subject automatically or deselect and enter the email subject. By default, this field is selected.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 | Optional  |
   | Syslog Server         | Select the Syslog Server (if already configured).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         | No        |
7. Click **Done** to send the notification.

## 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-saas/troubleshoot-and-reference/troubleshoot/configure-log-and-notification-forwarding.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.
