A vSphere administrator needs a way of sending noncritical ESXi events to a remote server. Due to budget constraints, no additional costs should be incurred.
Which tool will best meet this requirement?
A. vSphere Syslog Collector
B. vSphere ESXi Dump Collector
C. vSphere vCenter Log Insight
D. vSphere Management Appliance
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: The Syslog Collector supports the same processors and operating systems as vCenter Server. You can install the Syslog Collector on the same machine as the associated vCenter Server which means no extra costs will be incurred.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The Dump Collector is most useful for datacenters where ESXi hosts are configured using the Auto Deploy process, so it might not have local storage. You can also install the Dump Collector for ESXi hosts that do have local storage, as an additional location where vmkernel memory dumps can be redirected when critical failures occur. However, this means extra costs will be incurred.
C: vCenter Log Insight Manager makes troubleshooting across physical, virtual and cloud environments easier with universal log collection, powerful analytics, enterprise scalability and ease of deployment. Support for any syslog-compatible device and tight integration with other vCenter and vSphere technologies equips Virtual Infrastructure (VI) admins with the most complete view of their data center operations. But it will mean extra costs must be incurred.
D: vSphere Management Appliance or vMA is a virtual machine that includes prepackaged software, a logging component, and an authentication component that supports non-interactive login. However, it does not mean that additional costs will not be incurred.
