Question
A Cisco ACI fabric is experiencing packet loss that originates from a bare metal server. The engineer must configure the syslog service to meet these requirements:
- The ACI syslog information must be collected with logging information
from other network devices.
- The monitoring must only be performed on leaf 103 and leaf 104.
Which set of actions accomplishes these goals?
Options
- AConfigure the Syslog Monitoring Destination Group to remote server logging.
- BConfigure the Syslog Monitoring Destination Group to Console logging.
- CConfigure the Syslog Monitoring Destination Group to Local File logging.
- DConfigure the Syslog Monitoring Destination Group to Console logging.

Why each option
To centralize ACI syslog information with other network devices and limit monitoring to specific leaf nodes, configure a remote syslog server as the monitoring destination and apply this policy to the designated leaves.
Configuring the Syslog Monitoring Destination Group to remote server logging directs ACI syslog messages to an external server, which can aggregate logs from various network devices, satisfying the first requirement. This remote logging configuration can then be precisely targeted to apply only to specific fabric nodes like leaf 103 and leaf 104 through monitoring policies, fulfilling the second requirement for selective monitoring.
Console logging sends syslog messages only to the local console of the device and does not facilitate centralized collection with other network devices.
Local File logging stores syslog messages on the device's local filesystem and does not enable centralized collection with other network devices.
This option is a duplicate of B and is incorrect for the same reason.
