What is the maximum file size for hash calculations in both XDR data and Insight Hosts files database? Thanks.

Hi @maximk 

Thanks for your query on LC!

Cortex XDR sends unknown samples for in-depth analysis to WildFire and WildFire also limits sample sizes to 100MB, so anything over that may not be sent or calculated.

Please refer - https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XDR/Cortex-XDR-Documentation/WildFire-analysis-con...

Best,



My question is not related to WildFire. The Documentations states: 

The Cortex XDR agent does not include the following information in the local files inventory:

  • Information about files that existed on the endpoint and were deleted before the Cortex XDR agent was installed.

  • Information about files where the file size exceeds the maximum file size for hash calculations that are pre-configured in Cortex XDR .

I need to know what is the file size preconfigured maximum.
