Question 250
At a regional network operations center in Bristol, a post-change check targets this documented issue: Relevant CLI log evidence disappears during an incident because the local logging buffer wraps almost immediately. Which observation is the strongest evidence that the repair worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for logging buffer too small. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Increase an appropriately sized local logging buffer and forward important logs centrally', actually resolved the reported issue at a regional network operations center in Bristol. The original failure was: Relevant CLI log evidence disappears during an incident because the local logging buffer wraps almost immediately.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies syslog remote destination in a different situation, such as when a router logs events locally but nothing reaches the central collector because logging host was never configured. For the reported logging buffer too small incident at a regional network operations center in Bristol, the required acceptance evidence is: Incident events are retained long enough for diagnosis and archived centrally. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies log timestamps absent in a different situation, such as when two routers' syslog events cannot be ordered during a reconvergence incident because device log messages have no accurate timestamps. For the reported logging buffer too small incident at a regional network operations center in Bristol, the required acceptance evidence is: Incident events are retained long enough for diagnosis and archived centrally. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies syslog severity threshold in a different situation, such as when informational interface events never reach syslog because the configured logging trap level captures only severe messages. For the reported logging buffer too small incident at a regional network operations center in Bristol, the required acceptance evidence is: Incident events are retained long enough for diagnosis and archived centrally. This other result does not test that condition directly.
