Palo Alto Networks XSIAM Engineer — Question 30

What is the primary benefit of setting the "--memory-swap" option to "-1" during Cortex XSIAM engine deployment?

Answer options

• A. It enhances the network throughput by optimizing memory usage.
• B. It increases the total disk space available to the engine.
• C. It allows the engine to operate without requiring swap capabilities.
• D. It automatically doubles the available RAM to the engine.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Setting the '--memory-swap' option to '-1' allows the Cortex XSIAM engine to run without relying on swap space, which can improve performance by avoiding the latency associated with disk swapping. The other options are incorrect as they misinterpret the function of the memory swap setting; it does not affect network throughput, disk space, or increase available RAM.
