What is the difference between presets and datasets in XQL?

AA dataset is a Cortex data lake data source only; presets are built-in data source.

BA dataset is a built-in or third-party source; presets group XDR data fields.

CA dataset is a database; presets is a field.

DA dataset is a third-party data source; presets are built-in data source.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The difference between presets and datasets in XQL is that a dataset is a built-in or third-party data source, while a preset is a group of XDR data fields. A dataset is a collection of data that you can query and analyze using XQL. A dataset can be a Cortex data lake data source, such as endpoints, alerts, incidents, or network flows, or a third-party data source, such as AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs, or Google Cloud Audit Logs. A preset is a predefined set of XDR data fields that are relevant for a specific use case, such as process execution, file operations, or network activity. A preset can help you simplify and standardize your XQL queries by selecting the most important fields for your analysis. You can use presets with any Cortex data lake data source, but not with third-party data sources.Reference:

I think the difference lies in the source of data.

Wait, is XQL like SQL but for Cortex data? If so, then option A might be correct. A dataset is a Cortex data lake data source, while presets are built-in data sources. *chuckles* Maybe we should've paid more attention in that Cortex training session.

I'm leaning towards option D myself. It seems to make the most sense - a dataset is a third-party data source, while presets are built-in data sources. But I could be wrong, these XQL terms can be a bit tricky to grasp.

Hmm, this question seems a bit tricky. I'm not entirely sure about the difference between presets and datasets in XQL. The options seem to be describing them in different ways, but I'm not sure which one is correct.
