How does the Monitoring Console monitor forwarders?

Answer options

• A. By pulling internal logs from forwarders.
• B. By using the forwarder monitoring add-on.
• C. With internal logs forwarded by forwarders.
• D. With internal logs forwarded by deployment server.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is accurate because the Monitoring Console receives internal logs that are forwarded by the forwarders, allowing it to monitor their performance effectively. Option A is incorrect as it suggests pulling logs rather than receiving forwarded logs, while option B refers to an add-on which is not the primary method. Option D is also incorrect since it implies that the deployment server sends the logs instead of the forwarders.
