# Overview of the Query Center

The **Query Center** displays information about all queries that were run on the tenant, and the queries that are currently **In Progress**. The **Query Center** displays the following tabs:

* **Query History**

  View and manage all completed Cortex Query Language (XQL) and Graph Search queries. On this tab you can view query results, re-run and adjust queries, and schedule when a query runs. You can also see details of cancelled queries, including the query type and source, and the name of the user who cancelled the query.
* **Active Queries**

  View and manage all queries that are currently **In Progress** on the tenant. You can view details about a running query, including the user who ran the query, the context from which it ran, the source of the query, and the amount of time that the query has been running. From this tab you can also cancel active queries.

### Note

* Very short queries might not be listed.
* You cannot cancel correlation queries.
* The default retention period for historic queries is aligned with issue retention.

## 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-5.x/reference-and-developer-docs/cortex-xdr-xql/build-xql-queries/overview-of-the-query-center.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
