# Portal Setup & Log Shipping Guide

## Portal Access and Account Setup

Netacea will provision your portal access and create the associated S3 bucket for log data upload.

### Step 1: Account Creation

You will receive an email from <noreply@netacea.com> confirming that your portal account has been set up.&#x20;

### Step 2: Log in to the Portal

* Navigate to [https://portal.netacea.com](https://portal.netacea.com/).&#x20;
* Use the username and temporary password provided in the email.&#x20;
* Upon first login, you will be prompted to change your password.

### Step 3: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

* Set up MFA using an authenticator app on your mobile or desktop device.&#x20;
* Scan the QR code or use the secret key provided in the portal to add your account to the authenticator.&#x20;
* Enter the verification code from your authenticator app when prompted. \
  &#x20;

Once MFA is completed, your portal account setup is finished, and you will be successfully logged in.&#x20;

## Retrieving S3 Credentials and Uploading Logs

### Step 1: Initial Portal Access

* Once you have completed the above steps you will land on the Quarantine page of the portal along with being within the Production section.&#x20;

* To access the log shipping details, check that you are in the Production environment. If you are still in the Staging one, navigate to the top-left corner of the screen, where your company's account name is displayed. It should look like the example below:&#x20;

* Click on this area and a new box will appear to the right, this will allow you to switch between Production and Staging environments. Usually your Datastream will be set up in Production, however, if your Datastream has been set up in the Staging rather than Production environment you can use this to toggle between the two areas.&#x20;

* In the portal, go to **Datastreams** **>** **Integration Details**.

* These details include the credentials required to access your dedicated S3 bucket.

### Step 3: Begin File Upload

## 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://netacea.gitbook.io/portal-docs/user-guides-and-videos/portal-setup-and-log-shipping-guide.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.
