PaloAlto Xpanse

Connection Requirements

1

FQDN

Log in to Cortex Xpanse and navigate to Settings → Configurations → Integrations → API Keys. Right-click your generated API key and select View Examples. Copy the URL shown in the cURL example; the api-{fqdn} portion represents your tenant’s unique FQDN.

2

API Key

From the same API Keys page, click + New Key, choose Standard or Advanced, configure access roles (ensure Public API permissions are included), then click Generate. Copy the generated value immediately — this value is used in the Authorization: {api_key} header.

3

API Key ID

In the API Keys table, locate the ID column corresponding to your generated key. This value is your API Key ID and is required in the header as x-xdr-auth-id: {api_key_id}.

Please perform a connection test to ensure there is a valid connection to the PaloAlto Xpanse host. When the discovery operation is finalized, you will be able to see the details on the Assets page.
