In a Cortex XSIAM parsing rule, the COLLECT section defines the newly created dataset. This section specifies how the parsed fields and data should be structured and stored for further use in analytics and queries.

Setting the "--memory-swap" option to "-1" during Cortex XSIAM engine deployment configures the container to run without requiring swap capabilities. This ensures the engine operates fully within allocated RAM, improving stability and avoiding issues related to memory swapping.

In Cortex XSIAM's Alert Layout Builder, the "War Room" and "Work Plan" tabs are optional and can be removed, while the "Alert Info" tab is mandatory and cannot be deleted. This ensures that essential alert details are always retained, while collaboration and workflow tabs can be customized.

For Cortex XDR agents to use the Broker VM as a download source, the Agent Settings profile must specify the Broker VM as the update source, and the Broker VM must be configured with an FQDN so agents can reliably resolve and connect to it.
