Cortex Cloud Playbook: API Keys, Staged Onboarding, the Issues API, XQL and the Cortex CLI in Pipelines
A hands-on Cortex Cloud guide checked against Palo Alto Networks' public documentation and API schemas: Standard versus Advanced keys, onboarding in onboard-only mode without tripping its one-way switch, Issues API filters that validate, XQL within quota, CLI scans with the right key, and health alerts for silent gaps.
- Standard versus Advanced API keys, and the Advanced hash computed in code
- Onboard-only mode: why one careless edit starts scanning an entire organisation
- Issues API bodies validated against the published schema, and safe resolution
- XQL through the API: four parallel queries, 1,000 rows, then streams
- Cortex CLI in CI: Standard keys only, exit codes and version skew
- Health datasets that turn silent coverage loss into an issue
- A Prisma Cloud migration-aware 90-day rollout and interview drill
