Which indicator is most commonly used to quickly determine whether an XSIAM agent is currently operational?

The number of policies assigned to the agent

A company has a mix of Windows and Linux endpoints. The Windows agents are showing 'Connected' status, but the Linux agents are 'Disconnected'. All endpoints are on the same network and can reach the XSIAM platform. What is the most likely cause of this discrepancy?

The Linux agents are not compatible with the current XSIAM version.

The Linux agents are experiencing a temporary network issue.

The Linux endpoints are running a different operating system version.

The Linux agents have a different configuration for the XSIAM server address.

A security team is planning to monitor agent operational status across their organization. They want to receive alerts when agents go offline. Which approach should they use?

Configure alerts based on agent status changes in the XSIAM console.

Review agent logs on each endpoint periodically.

Manually check the console daily for offline agents.

Use a third-party monitoring tool that polls agent status.

An analyst is reviewing the XSIAM console and sees an agent with a status of 'Connected' but a health indicator of 'Warning'. The agent's last check-in was 1 minute ago, and CPU usage is at 70%. What should the analyst do?

Investigate the health warning to determine if the CPU usage is causing performance issues.

Ignore the warning because the agent is connected and recently checked in.

Reinstall the agent to ensure it is healthy.

Restart the agent to clear the warning.

An organization wants to proactively monitor the operational status of its XSIAM agents. Which combination of indicators should the security team regularly review to ensure agents are healthy?

Number of detected threats and quarantine events.

Agent version, last check-in time, and CPU/memory usage.

User login times and active sessions.

Firewall rules and network ACLs.
