Integrate with the Wildfire Public Cloud

When you integrate Carbon Black App Control with the WildFire public cloud, the connection can either be direct or by proxy.

  1. In the console, click the Settings (gear) icon and click System Configuration.
  2. Click the Connectors tab and then click the Palo Alto Networks tab.
  3. Click the Edit button at the bottom of the page.
  4. In the File Analysis panel, click the Cloud button and enter your WildFire license key in the WildFire Key field.
    Note: Files sent by Carbon Black App Control for analysis by the WildFire cloud service are subject to the limits in the WildFire license key.
  5. Click the Test button next to the WildFire Key field to validate the key and the connection between the WildFire cloud and the Carbon Black App Control Server. If the test is not successful, use the failure message to troubleshoot the connection problem.
    Note: If you need to use a proxy server for sending files from the Carbon Black App Control Server to the WildFire Public Cloud for analysis, you can configure this through the Licensing tab of the System Configuration page. The Carbon Black File Reputation Proxy Settings panel provides a field in which you can enter a proxy server address. This will be used for both Carbon Black File Reputation and files sent to WildFire, and the proxy will be reported when you click Test. See Activating Carbon Black File Reputation.
  6. In the File Analysis panel, check the File Analysis Enabled checkbox.
  7. If the WildFire Key test passed and you have finished entering the other required information, including checking the Integration Enabled box at the top of the page, click the Update button to save your changes.
