Palo Alto Cortex IIS API Query

[sushant1601]

Hello Everyone, 

We ingest IIS logs by querying Cortex using a custom-built sensor utility. Recently, we've started encountering a NullPointerException. Upon investigating in our test environment, we found that the issue is related to a field in the query result that represents the API query cost, which we use internally for debug logging.

Previously, the field was returned as query_cost, but it now appears to have been renamed to query_cost_charged. Since our sensor still expects the original query_cost field, it fails with a NullPointerException.

Could someone please confirm if this field name change was made on the API side, and share any relevant documentation or release notes regarding this update?

Thank you in advance!

​I understand you're seeking information about the query_cost_charged field in Cortex XDR. As of now, the official Cortex XDR documentation does not explicitly mention a field named query_cost_charged. The documentation refers to the "query cost" associated with each API query, which is displayed in the Get Query Results API. ​

It's possible that the field name query_cost_charged is used internally or has been introduced in recent updates without being reflected in the public documentation. To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information, I recommend reaching out directly to Palo Alto Networks support or your account representative. They can provide clarification on the current field names and any recent changes to the API.
