A vSphere administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue reported on a single ESXi host. The administrator needs to collect logs from that host and the vCenter Server to correlate events. The administrator is currently logged into the vSphere Client. What is the most efficient way to generate the log bundle?

Navigate to vCenter Server, select Export System Logs, and choose only the vCenter Server.

Run vm-support on the ESXi host via SSH and then download the resulting tar archive.

Navigate to the host, select Export System Logs, choose the host and vCenter Server, and click Export Logs.

Use the vSphere API to generate a bundle for the host only, then manually combine with vCenter logs.

A developer needs to automate the collection of vCenter Server logs for a nightly health check. The automation runs on a Linux server and must use the vSphere API. Which approach should the developer use to generate the log bundle?

SSH to vCenter and run vc-support.sh.

Use the vSphere Web Services API to call the ExportLogBundle task.

Use the vCenter Support Assistant API to create a support bundle.

Download logs from the vSphere Client using a script that simulates browser clicks.

After generating a log bundle via the vSphere Client, how do you download it?

You click the download link in the task completion notification

You access it via the vSphere Web Services API

You use SCP to copy it from the vCenter Server

It is automatically emailed to the administrator

What is required to successfully invoke the log bundle generation API?

The IP address of the vCenter Server

A valid session and appropriate privileges

The root password of the ESXi host

A direct SSH connection to the vCenter Server
