An NSX administrator is troubleshooting a network issue and needs to correlate NSX Manager logs with edge node logs. They have configured syslog forwarding to a central log server. However, they notice that edge node logs are not appearing on the log server. What is the most likely cause?

The log server is not reachable from the NSX Manager.

The edge nodes are not sending logs because they are not configured with a syslog server.

The syslog configuration on the edge nodes is not set to forward logs to the log server.

The NSX Manager syslog configuration only forwards NSX Manager logs, not edge node logs.

An NSX-T Data Center administrator needs to forward NSX Manager audit logs and system logs to a central SIEM platform for compliance and troubleshooting. The SIEM platform is reachable at 10.10.10.50. Which configuration should the administrator perform?

On each ESXi host, configure the syslog service to forward logs to the SIEM server.

Create a new NSX Edge node and configure it as a syslog relay to the SIEM server.

Use the NSX CLI on the NSX Manager to run 'set syslog server 10.10.10.50'.

In the NSX Manager UI, navigate to System > Configuration > Syslog, add the SIEM server IP, and select the log types to forward.
