[Cortex XDR Agent Configuration]
How are dynamic endpoint groups created and managed in Cortex XDR?

  1. Endpoint groups require intervention to update the group with new endpoints when a new device is added to the network
  2. Each endpoint can belong to multiple groups simultaneously, allowing different security policies to be applied to the same device at the same time
  3. After an endpoint group is created, its assigned security policy cannot be changed without deleting and recreating the group
  4. Endpoint groups are defined based on fields such as OS type, OS version, and network segment

Answer(s): D



[Dashboards and Reporting]
An engineer is building a dashboard to visualize the number of alerts from various sources. One of the widgets from the dashboard is shown in the image below:



The engineer wants to configure a drilldown on this widget to allow dashboard users to select any of the alert names and view those alerts with additional relevant details. The engineer has configured the following XQL query to meet the requirement:

dataset = alerts
| fields alert_name, description, alert_source, severity, original_tags, alert_id, incident_id | filter alert_name =
| sort desc _time
How will the engineer complete the third line of the query (filter alert_name =) to allow dynamic filtering on a selected alert name?

  1. $y_axis.value
  2. $x_axis.value
  3. $x_axis.name
  4. $y_axis.name

Answer(s): B
