CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 142

Audit and system logs are being forwarded to a syslog solution. An administrator observes that two application servers have not generated any logs for a period of three days, while others continue to send logs normally. Which of the following BEST explains what is occurring?

Answer options

• A. There is a configuration failure in the syslog solution
• B. The application servers were migrated to the cloud as IaaS instances
• C. The application administrators have not performed any activity in those servers
• D. There is a local firewall policy restriction on the syslog server

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a configuration failure in the syslog solution would prevent logs from being generated or forwarded from those two servers. Options B and C are less likely as they do not directly address the logging issue, and option D does not explain the absence of logs specifically from those servers.
