# Realm Onboarding Guide

## Overview

[Realm](https://realm.security/) is a security data pipeline tool that collects, transforms, and routes log data to downstream destinations. You can configure Realm to forward logs to Panther using an [HTTP source](https://claude.ai/data-onboarding/data-transports/http.md), where Panther ingests, parses, and makes the data available for detection and investigation.

## How to set up a Realm integration

### Prerequisites

* A Panther account with permissions to create log sources.
* A Realm account with permissions to create destinations and output feeds.

### Step 1: Create an HTTP source in Panther

Follow Panther's [instructions for configuring an HTTP Source](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/data-transports/http#how-to-set-up-an-http-log-source-in-panther).

* For the **Auth method**, select [Bearer](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/data-transports/http#bearer).
* Payloads sent to this source are subject to the [payload requirements for all HTTP sources](https://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/data-transports/http#payload-requirements).
* Do not proceed to the next step until the creation of your HTTP endpoint has completed.

### Step 2: Configure the Panther destination in Realm

1. In Realm, navigate to the **Destinations** page.
2. Create a new destination for Panther.
3. Add a new **Output Feed** and configure the following fields:
   * **Name**: `Panther`
   * **Method**: `HTTP`
   * **Endpoint**: Your Panther HTTP Source URL, copied in Step 1.
   * **Bearer Token**: The Bearer Token you created in Step 1.
   * **Compression**: `GZIP` or `ZSTD`.
4. Save the Output Feed. Realm begins forwarding log data to your Panther HTTP source.

## 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://docs.panther.com/data-onboarding/data-pipeline-tools/realm.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.
