Question 610
At a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam, a post-change check targets this documented issue: Local logs are correct but the central UDP syslog collector never sees packets due to the WAN filtering policy. Which observation is the strongest evidence that the repair worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for syslog transport acl. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Verify source routing and permitted syslog transport to the collector, commonly UDP 514 if configured', actually resolved the reported issue at a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam. The original failure was: Local logs are correct but the central UDP syslog collector never sees packets due to the WAN filtering policy.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies streaming telemetry subscription in a different situation, such as when telemetry measurements stop appearing even though periodic CLI monitoring works because the subscription destination is unreachable. For the reported syslog transport acl incident at a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: Packets reach the collector and event entries appear under the expected device. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies logging buffer too small in a different situation, such as when relevant CLI log evidence disappears during an incident because the local logging buffer wraps almost immediately. For the reported syslog transport acl incident at a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: Packets reach the collector and event entries appear under the expected device. This other result does not test that condition directly.
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 syslog transport acl incident at a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: Packets reach the collector and event entries appear under the expected device. This other result does not test that condition directly.
