A security administrator is troubleshooting a Cortex XDR Broker VM that was deployed in the management network but is not receiving traffic from the Cortex XDR agents. The Broker VM's web interface shows the service is running, and the VM can reach the Cortex XDR tenant. Which check should the administrator perform first to isolate the issue?

Ensure that the Broker VM is deployed in the same subnet as the agents.

Check that the Broker VM's virtual disk has at least 20% free space for log buffering.

Confirm that the agents are configured to use the Broker VM's IP address or hostname as their proxy or forwarding destination.

Verify that the Broker VM has a public IP address assigned to its external interface.
