NCP-CI-AWS practice question 10 of 15

What is an available log module when configuring a syslog server in the Prism Central Admin Center?

Full set: 74 questions
Answer options
A: API Audit
B: Prism
C: Zookeeper
D: Acropolis Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Acropolis
Explanation

When configuring a remote syslog server in Prism Central, administrators can select specific log modules to forward. These modules correspond to the various services and components running on the Nutanix cluster. Acropolis is the core component responsible for virtualization, storage management, and other data plane services. Its logs are critical for troubleshooting and monitoring, and it is a standard, selectable module in the syslog configuration interface.

Why Incorrect

A. API Audit: API calls are logged in the Audit Trails feature within Prism Central and are not a selectable module for syslog forwarding.
B. Prism: While Prism is a valid and selectable log module for syslog forwarding, the question asks for an available module, and Acropolis is also a correct and fundamental choice.
C. Zookeeper: Zookeeper is also a valid and selectable log module. As with Prism, it is a correct option, but Acropolis is equally correct.
