# Verify Cortex XCOR is receiving log data

> Learn how to verify that Palo Alto Networks Cortex XCOR is ingesting your log data.

After [ingesting data](/ingest/logs) , use Logs Explorer to verify that Palo Alto Networks
Cortex XCOR
is receiving log data.

1. In the navigation menu select
   **<Icon icon="compass" /> Explorers <span aria-label="and then">></span> Logs Explorer**.

2. On the **Logs Explorer** page, select a time window that includes the period when
   Cortex XCOR started ingesting log data.

   The timeline graph displays a spike at the time when Cortex XCOR
   started ingesting log data.

3. Verify the `message`, `timestamp`, `service`, and `severity` fields are being
   assigned correctly. If these fields aren't mapped in the way you intended, contact
   [Cortex XCOR Support](/support).
