JNCIE-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Expert – Data Center — Question 12

You must design a solution to collect logs from a group of SRX Series devices using Junos Space Log Director. You will deploy this solution on virtual machines that will support traffic peaks up to 7,500 events per second.
How would you accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Implement one centralized log collector and continue the SRX Series clusters to forward logs to it.
• B. Implement one centralized log concentrator and configure the SRX Series clusters to forward logs to it.
• C. Implement one log concentrator, two log collectors, and a load balancer in front of them, configuring SRX Series devices to forward the logs to the Load Balancer VIP interface.
• D. Implement one log concentrator, three log collectors, and configure the SRX Series clusters to distribute the logs among the log collectors.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it ensures scalability and load distribution by using multiple log collectors, which can effectively manage high traffic peaks. Option A and B fail to address the peak load requirement, as they rely on a single collector, while option C introduces unnecessary complexity with a load balancer that is not needed in this scenario.
