What is the first step in creating a new dashboard in the Palo Alto Networks security platform?

Select the 'New Dashboard' option from the Dashboards menu.

Write an XQL query to define the data source.

Select a layout template for the dashboard.

Configure sharing permissions for the dashboard.

What is the benefit of widget interaction in a dashboard?

It allows users to drill down into data by interacting with visual elements.

It automatically generates new dashboards.

It reduces the need for XQL queries.

It changes the data source of the dashboard.

A SOC manager wants a dashboard where selecting a time range on one widget (e.g., 'Last 1 hour') automatically updates all other widgets on the dashboard to the same time range. What is the correct way to implement this?

Write a complex XQL query that uses a variable for the time range and share it across widgets.

Create a drill-down from the time widget to the other widgets, passing the time range as a parameter.

Enable 'Time Sync' in the widget's settings and set the other widgets to follow.

Use the dashboard's global time filter, which is the single source of truth for time on the dashboard.

A SOC team has a dashboard with a global time filter set to 'Last 24 hours'. They want to add a widget that always shows the total number of critical alerts in the last 7 days, regardless of the global time filter. What is the correct way to achieve this?

Change the global dashboard time filter to 'Last 7 days'.

Create a separate dashboard for the 7-day view and link to it from the main dashboard.

Write the widget's XQL query with a hardcoded time range using `filter _time >= 7 days ago`.

Add a second global filter for 'critical' severity and set it to 'Last 7 days'.

What is the primary purpose of XQL in the Palo Alto Networks security platform?

To provide a structured query language for searching and analyzing security data across multiple data sources.

To automate firewall rule changes based on threat intelligence feeds.

To manage user access and role-based permissions within the security platform.

To generate compliance reports for regulatory audits automatically.
