# Orca Security Logs

## Overview

Panther ingests [Orca Security ](https://orca.security/)alerts by configuring a webhook to post events to a Panther HTTP URL.

## How to onboard Orca Security logs to Panther

### Step 1: Create an Orca Security source in Panther

1. In the left-hand navigation bar of your Panther Console, click **Configure** > **Log Sources**.
2. Click **Create New**.
3. Search for “Orca Security,” then click its tile.
4. On the slide-out panel, click **Start Setup**.

5. Follow [Panther's instructions for configuring an HTTP Source](https://docs.panther.com/data-transports/http#how-to-set-up-an-http-log-source-in-panther), beginning at Step 5.
   * For the **Auth method**, you will be required to use [Bearer authentication](https://docs.panther.com/data-transports/http#bearer). This is the only authentication method Orca Security supports.
   * Payloads sent to this source are subject to the [payload requirements for all HTTP sources](https://docs.panther.com/data-transports/http#payload-requirements).
   * Do not proceed to the next step until the creation of your HTTP endpoint has been completed.

After creating the HTTP source, the Panther Console will display your HTTP Source URL. Store this value in a secure location, as you will need it in the next steps.

### Step 2: Create a new Panther integration in Orca Security

1. In the Orca Security console, navigate to **Settings** > **Integrations**.
2. In the search bar in the upper-right hand corner, search for "Panther," then, on the **Panther** tile, click **Configure**.

There is a &#x22;Configure&#x22; button." width="164"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
3. On the **Panther** pop-up modal, click **Create**.

There is a &#x22;Create&#x22; button at the bottom." width="188"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
4. Under **Panther Integration**, fill in the form fields:

   * **Template Name**: Enter a descriptive name, e.g., `Panther SIEM integration`.
   * **Trigger URL**: Enter the HTTP URL you generated in Panther in [Step 1](#step-1-create-an-orca-security-source-in-panther).
   * **API Key**: Enter "Bearer" followed by a space, then enter the Bearer token you generated or entered in Panther in [Step 1](#step-1-create-an-orca-security-source-in-panther). The complete value should look like: `Bearer SomeTokenHere`.
   * (Optional) Under **Your Panther template**, customize the **Body** and **Custom Header** contents by dragging and dropping fields from the **Orca Optional Fields** section.

5. Click **Next**.
6. In the upper-right hand corner, click **Create Template**.

### Step 3: Automate alert forwarding in Orca Security

1. From the left-hand navigation bar in the Orca console, select **Automations**.
2. From the **Orca Suggested Template** section, select **Forward Alerts via Integrations**.
3. On the **Create Query** page, update the default **Query** value as desired.
   * This query determines which alerts will be forwarded to Panther. You may enter asterisks, use more specific values, or add/remove conditions.

4. Click **Next**.
5. On the **Automation Details** page, enter an **Automation Name**.

6. Click **Next**.
7. On the **Define Results** page, under **SIEM/SOAR**:
   1. Select **Panther**.
   2. In the **Select Panther Trigger** dropdown field, select the Panther integration you created in Step 2.

## Supported log types

{% hint style="warning" %}
Starting January 1, 2026, Orca Security will be discontinuing support for their `Orca.Alert` schema, replacing it with `Orca.AlertEvent`.
