Considering the performance of logs in VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer, which of the following statements is accurate? (Choose Two)

Question

Options

• ALogs are processed faster when stored locally on the service engine
• BCentralized logging can cause delays due to network latency
• CLog performance is unaffected by the size of the service engine group
• DReal-time log processing significantly reduces CPU overhead

• A
  43% (13)
• C
  17% (5)
• D
  40% (12)

Explanation

A is correct because local log storage on the service engine avoids the overhead of transmitting log data across a network - processing happens in-memory or on local disk, which is inherently faster than sending data to a remote collector.

B is correct because centralized (remote) logging requires sending log data over the network to a log analytics server or controller, and any network congestion, high latency, or packet loss introduces measurable delays in log delivery and processing.

C is wrong because service engine group size does affect log performance - larger groups generate more log volume, which increases processing load and can strain both the engines and any centralized logging infrastructure.

D is wrong because real-time log processing is actually CPU-intensive, not CPU-reducing; parsing, filtering, and streaming logs in real time competes with data plane forwarding for CPU resources.

Memory tip: Think of it as a "local is fast, remote has lag" rule - just like file access, local storage beats network transmission every time. A = local = fast; B = remote = latency. That's the two-answer pair to remember.
