When should an APM administrator use the 'verbose' verbosity level instead of 'debug'?

When they need to log only authentication failures

When they want to reduce log volume to improve performance

When they need the most detailed logging possible, even if it generates a large volume of logs

When they need to log only errors and warnings

An organization is troubleshooting an intermittent issue where users are occasionally unable to complete the SAML authentication flow through BIG-IP APM. The issue occurs sporadically and is difficult to reproduce. The administrator needs to capture detailed information about the SAML exchange to identify the root cause. However, the APM is also handling production traffic, and the administrator is concerned about the performance impact of extended logging. What should the administrator do?

Use the default notice level and rely on the existing logs to identify the issue.

Set the APM log level to verbose and monitor the logs in real time to catch the issue as it happens.

Set the APM log level to debug for the access policy and leave it enabled for a week to capture the issue.

Enable debug logging only for the specific SAML-related log categories and for a limited time window when the issue is likely to occur.

What is the primary performance impact of setting APM logging to a high verbosity level such as 'debug' or 'verbose'?

Reduced network bandwidth because logs are compressed

No performance impact because logging is handled by a separate processor

Increased CPU usage and disk I/O due to the generation of more log entries

Decreased memory usage because logs are written directly to disk
