Explanation

Panorama includes predefined payload formats for threat and traffic logs in the HTTP Server Profile. These payload formats correspond to predefined security tags in NSX-V. When a guest VM is found in the threat or traffic logs, Panorama makes an API call to NSX-V Manager telling NSX-V Manager to tag the guest VM with the tag specified in the HTTP Server Profile. When the guest VM becomes tagged, NSX-V Manager dynamically moves the tagged guest VM into the quarantine security group, which places the guest VM into the quarantine dynamic address https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/vm-series/10-0/vm-series-deployment/set-up-the-vm-series- firewall-on-nsx/set-up-the-vm-series-firewall-on-vmware-nsx/dynamically-quarantine-infected-
