Learn more about viewing the details of any particular Broker VM.
In Cortex XDR , select Settings → Configurations → Data Broker → Broker VMs to view detailed information regarding your registered Broker VMs in the Brokers tab.
The Broker VMs table enables you to monitor and mange your Broker VM and applet connectivity status, version management, device details, and usage metrics.
The following table describes both the default fields and additional optional fields that you can add to the Brokers table using the column manager and lists the fields in alphabetical order.
Note
Certain fields are also exposed in the Clusters tab, when a Broker VM node is added to a High Availability (HA) cluster, and each cluster node is expanded to view the Broker VM nodes table. An asterisk (*) is beside every field that is also included in the Broker VM nodes table for each HA cluster.

Broker VM configuration changes made through the Cortex XDR console have failed. Need to open a Palo Alto Networks support ticket. | |
DEVICE ID | Device ID allocated to the Broker VM by Cortex XDR after registration. | |
DEVICE NAME* | Same as the Device ID. A icon notifies of an expired Broker VM. To reconnect, generate a new token and re-register your Broker VM as described in steps 1 through 7 of Configure the Broker VM. Once registered, all previous Broker VM configurations are reinstated. | |
