Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's XDR-Engineer exam
Question #: 64
Topic #: 2
A query is created that will run weekly via API. After it is tested and ready, it is reviewed in the Query Center. Which available column should be checked to determine how many compute units will be used when the query is run?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

In Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM / Cortex XDR, when you create and save an XQL query to run via API or a scheduled job, the system calculates its performance and resource impact.
Simulated Compute Units: This column in the Query Center provides an estimated or simulated value of the compute resources (Compute Units) that the query is expected to consume based on its complexity, the size of the targeted datasets, and its structure. Checking this column allows administrators to predict and manage their API consumption and credit burn before putting the query into production.
