When configuring endpoint log collection in XSIAM, which setting is typically required to ensure the agent sends data?

The endpoint's operating system version

The endpoint's local firewall rules

The XSIAM collector IP address and port

A security analyst has onboarded endpoint, network, and cloud sources to XSIAM. The analyst wants to verify that all sources are sending logs correctly. What is the most efficient way to validate the data ingestion?

Run a query in the XSIAM search bar for each source's log type.

Check the XSIAM data ingestion dashboard for each source.

Review the raw log viewer for each source.

Check the agent status on each endpoint.

A company is integrating GCP Cloud Audit Logs into XSIAM. The integration is configured using the native API, and the status shows 'Connected'. However, the security team notices that only a subset of the expected logs are appearing. What is the most likely cause?

The XSIAM collector is using the wrong GCP project ID.

The GCP project is not sending all audit log categories to the integration.

The GCP logs are not being normalized to the XSIAM data model.

The GCP logs are being sent to a different region.

Which data source category typically produces authentication and user activity logs, and what is a common log format for this category?

Cloud sources, commonly using CloudTrail or Activity Logs

Network sources, commonly using NetFlow or PCAP

Endpoint sources, commonly using Windows Event Log

Identity sources, commonly using JSON or syslog
