Recently i have noticed that there is another folder which has been created under PA Cortex folder as below:
"C:\Program Files\Palo Alto Networks\Cortex XDR Health Helper"
Inside the Folder there is PE which is xdrhealth.exe, what is the purpose of this EXE? Is there any documentation which can be used for understanding its purpose. From the name it seems to be something to do with health checks up for the XDR services on the local system and report to cloud console but it would be beneficial to understand the purpose.
Thank you

We are seeing also a new Service with Name "Cortex XDR Health helper" which is set to Automatic but not started.
This causes Issues with our Monitoring. Not sure if this service runs only from time to time and what is the purpose of that Service.
(Even a restart of the Device, doesn't start the Service.)
Seems to be something new with Agent 7.7.0.
