QuestionQ16

Cortex XDR Agent Configuration

While deploying Cortex XDR for Linux Agents, the security engineering team must implement memory monitoring for agent health monitoring.

Which agent service should be monitored to meet this requirement?

  • A pyxd
  • B clad
  • C pmd
  • D dypdng
Explanation

pmd is the primary Cortex XDR Linux agent daemon and the systemd-managed service (traps_pmd). It runs with root privileges and starts and stops the agent helper processes, so its memory use is the relevant service-level indicator for agent health monitoring. dypdng, clad, and pyxd are helper or payload processes rather than the primary agent service.
