Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Reboot the Cortex XDR management server tenant
Why it's wrong here
Tenant reboots are performed by cloud operations, not administrators testing integrations.
- ✗
Restart the Broker VM container service
Why it's wrong here
Restarting the container does not test API authentication parameters.
- ✗
Execute a full endpoint isolation workflow
Why it's wrong here
Isolating an endpoint is a disruptive response action, not a credential test.
- ✓
Run the 'test-module' command
Why this is correct
The 'test-module' command verifies that API keys, URLs, and credentials are valid and working.
