Why each option

To improve visibility for troubleshooting an application issue, enabling both session start and session end logging provides the most comprehensive data on connection establishment and termination.

ALog at Session Start and Log at Session End both enabledCorrect

Logging at Session Start captures initial connection details, while logging at Session End provides crucial information about the session's termination, including bytes transferred and duration, which are essential for thorough troubleshooting.

BLog at Session Start and Log at Session End both disabled

Disabling both log settings would prevent any session logging, making troubleshooting impossible due to a complete lack of data.

CLog at Session Start enabled, Log at Session End disabled

Logging only at Session Start would miss important details about session termination, data transfer, and potential issues that occur during the session's lifetime.

DLog at Session Start disabled, Log at Session End enabled

Logging only at Session End would miss critical initial connection details, making it harder to understand how and why a session was established or if it failed to start.
