101 Question #121: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is B: The IP address of the server must be added to the syslogng.conf file.. To forward GTM log messages to a remote syslog server, the server IP address must be added to the syslog-ng.conf file, which controls the syslog-ng daemon used for logging on F5 systems.
Question
What are some changes that must be made on the GTM System so that log messages are sent to centralized System Log servers?
Options
- AThe IP address of the server must be added to the wideip.conf file.
- BThe IP address of the server must be added to the syslogng.conf file.
- CThe IP address of the server and valid userid/password combination must be added to the
- DThe IP address of the server and valid userid/password combination must be added to the syslog
Explanation
To forward GTM log messages to a remote syslog server, the server IP address must be added to the syslog-ng.conf file, which controls the syslog-ng daemon used for logging on F5 systems.
Common mistakes.
- A. The wideip.conf file stores Wide IP and DNS configuration for GTM, and has no role in defining syslog or remote logging destinations.
- C. Standard syslog-ng remote forwarding does not require a userid/password combination - only the destination IP address and port are needed, as syslog uses UDP/TCP transport without built-in authentication.
- D. Basic syslog forwarding to a remote server does not involve authentication credentials; the syslog-ng protocol forwards messages to a destination by IP and port only, with no login mechanism.
Concept tested. GTM remote syslog-ng centralized logging configuration
