How to detect beaconing

[christowner]

Is there any way to use XDR or the NGFW logs to detect beaconing?

Thank you for elaborating more, 

Behind the scenes we look on connection to domains  in order to detect abnormal activities,  in the Cortex XDR UI we display the information rounded to minutes or hours depends on the type of the detection.

You are correct that using the Explore app you can see the actual data once you have the URL you are looking for.

I opened feature request to allow user to query for URLs on specific intervals.
