PCNSA Question #298: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

An administrator is troubleshooting an issue with an accounts payable application. Which log setting could be temporarily configured to improve visibility?

Options

• ALog at Session Start and Log at Session End both enabled
• BLog at Session Start and Log at Session End both disabled
• CLog at Session Start enabled, Log at Session End disabled
• DLog at Session Start disabled, Log at Session End enabled

Explanation

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.

Common mistakes.

• B. Disabling both log settings would prevent any session logging, making troubleshooting impossible due to a complete lack of data.
• C. Logging only at Session Start would miss important details about session termination, data transfer, and potential issues that occur during the session's lifetime.
• D. 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.

Concept tested. Session logging for troubleshooting
