Hi @Venkatesh_Konar ,

If your host machine is running windows, mac, or linux you can install the Cortex XDR agent.

The supported operating systems where you can install cortex xdr are listed here: https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XDR/Cortex-XDR-Compatibility-Matrix/Where-Can-I-Install-the-Cortex-XDR-Agent

--> on VMware ESXi Host, it is not possible to install cortex xdr

cortex is not possible to install at kernel level, you can install just in OS like windows, linux, android, etc, in fact currently there are not a solution to protect at kernel level (like ESXi or hypervisor)
