Answer options
A: Prism Central GUI
B: Prism Element GUI
C: NDB GUI Correct answer
D: NDB CLI Correct answer
Correct Answer:
C. NDB GUI; D. NDB CLI
Explanation

When troubleshooting NDB issues, Nutanix Support often requires a diagnostics bundle containing logs and configuration data. This bundle can be generated and downloaded from two primary locations. The first is the NDB Graphical User Interface (GUI), typically found under the "Administration" or a similar section, which provides a user-friendly wizard to create the bundle. The second method is via the NDB Command Line Interface (CLI), using the ndb-cli log-collector command, which is useful for automation or when GUI access is unavailable.

Why Incorrect

A. Prism Central is the platform where the NDB service runs, but the diagnostics bundle for the NDB application itself is generated from within NDB's own interfaces.
B. Prism Element is the management interface for an individual Nutanix cluster and does not have a feature to generate a diagnostics bundle for the NDB application.
