VMware vSphere 6 Beta — Question 17

An administrator wants to perform Activity Monitoring on a large group of virtual machines in an NSX environment. How would this task be accomplished with minimal administrative effort?

Answer options

• A. Create a PowerCLI script to enable virtual machine data collection on each virtual machine.
• B. Create a security group in Service Composer and add the virtual machines to the security group.
• C. Add the virtual machines to the pre-defined Activity Monitoring security group in Service Composer.
• D. Add the virtual machines to a VM folder in vCenter Server and enable data collection.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because adding the virtual machines to the pre-defined Activity Monitoring security group in Service Composer allows for centralized management and monitoring with minimal manual intervention. Option A requires scripting, which can be more complex and time-consuming. Option B, while useful for organization, does not specifically enable monitoring. Option D also necessitates additional steps and does not leverage the predefined capabilities of Service Composer.
