Query Center table
| Field | Description |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **BQL** | Whether the query was created by the native search.
Native search has been deprecated; this field allows you to view data for queries performed before deprecation.
|
| **COMPUTE UNIT USAGE** | Number of query units that were used to execute the API query and Cold Storage query. |
| **ISSUED BY** \* | User who ran or scheduled the query. |
| **DURATION (SEC)** | Number of seconds it took to execute the query. |
| **EXECUTION ID** | Unique identifier of Cortex Query Language (XQL) queries in the tenant. The identifier ID generated for queries executed in Cortex XDR and XQL query API. |
| **NUM OF RESULTS**\* | Number of results returned by the query. |
| **PUBLIC API** | Whether the source executing the query was an XQL query API. |
| **QUERY DESCRIPTION**\* | Query parameters used to run the query. |
| **QUERY ID** | Unique identifier of the query. |
| **QUERY NAME**\* | - For saved queries, the Query Name identifies the query specified by the administrator.
- For scheduled queries, the Query Name identifies the auto-generated name of the parent query. Scheduled queries also display an icon to the left of the name to indicate that the query is recurring.
|
| **QUERY STATUS**\* | Status of the query:
- Queued: The query is queued and will run when there is an available slot.
- Running
- Failed
- Partially completed: The query was stopped after exceeding the maximum number of permitted results. The default results for any query is a maximum of 1,000,000 results, when no limit is explicitly stated in the query. Queries based on XQL query entities are limited to 10,000 results. To reduce the number of results returned, you can adjust the query settings and rerun.
- Stopped: The query was stopped by an administrator.
- Completed
- Deleted: The query was pruned.
|
| **QUERY SYNTAX** | The exact syntax used to write the query. |
| **RESULTS SAVED**\* | Yes or No. |
| **SIMULATED COMPUTE UNITS** | Number of XQL query units that were used to execute the Hot Storage query. |
| **TENANT** | List of tenants on which an XQL query were executed. |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-3.x/cortex-xdr-3.x-documentation/investigate-and-respond-to-incidents/build-xql-queries/overview-of-the-query-center/edit-and-rerun-queries-in-query-center/query-center-reference-information.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
