# Add the SSH Credentials to Epiphany
Epiphany also has the capability to extract network appliance information via Secure Shell (SSH). The SSH collectors will establish an SSHv2 session with the appliances and run the needed **show** commands for data collection.
#### Step 1:
* Provide the following data for each PAN-OS/Panorama appliance:
- [ ] IP Address
- [ ] Username/Password
{% hint style="info" %}
To create a new user, refer to the [*Create a New PAN-OS or Panorama User*](/technical-documentation/data-sources-early-access/palo-alto-pan-os-and-panorama/create-a-new-pan-os-or-panorama-user.md) section of this guide.
{% endhint %}
* This data should be provided in JSON format. For example:
```json
{"ip":"192.168.0.1",
"user":"username",
"passw":"password123"},
{"ip":"192.168.0.2",
"user":"username",
"passw":"password123"}
```
#### **Step 2:**
* Log in to your Epiphany account.
* In the left menu, expand **Source Management** and select **Configuration.**\
\
* Expand **On-Prem** and then expand **Network Management.**
* Select **Add New Datasource.**
* Select **SSH Collector**.
#### Step 3:
* On the **Add New Datasource** page, enter this information:
* **Data Source Name**: A description of the Cisco IOS account. This is a required field.
* **Data Source Owner**: The name of your Cisco IOS admin. This is typically the person adding the data source.
* **Data Source Notes**: Any additional information about the account.
* **JSON Appliance Code**: Click in the large box to select the JSON file (with the network credentials) you created earlier. You can also drag-and-drop the file into the box.
* Toggle **Active** to on.
* Select **Save**.
