A VM cannot reach the internet through a Tier-0 gateway. You are reviewing the NSX Edge node's dataplane logs and find the following entry: '2024-05-15T10:32:11Z nsx-edge-01 dataplane[1234]: DROP: src=192.168.10.5 dst=8.8.8.8 sport=54321 dport=443 zone=SRC_TIER0 proto=tcp action=DROP'. What is the most likely cause of the connectivity issue?

The destination IP 8.8.8.8 is unreachable from the Edge node

A firewall rule on the Tier-0 gateway is blocking the traffic

The BGP session to the upstream router is down

The source VM's IP address is not in the correct subnet

A user reports that a VM is experiencing intermittent connectivity to a database server on a different subnet. The issue occurs only during peak hours. You suspect a resource contention issue on the NSX Edge node. Which log file would provide the most direct evidence of this?

The NSX Edge node's system logs

The NSX Controller's cluster logs

What is the first step in a log-based troubleshooting workflow?

Identify the affected component and gather relevant logs

After isolating the root cause from log analysis, what is the next step in the troubleshooting workflow?

Implement a fix and verify via logs
