What is the purpose of correlating logs from different NSX components?

To reduce the number of log files

To identify the root cause by tracing the problem across the data path

To increase the log level of all components

A new NSX Edge node was deployed, and you are testing connectivity. You find that the Edge node can ping its gateway, but it cannot reach a remote network. You have verified the routing configuration. Which log file should you check next to determine if the issue is with the Edge node's dataplane or the upstream router?

The NSX Controller's cluster logs

You need to collect logs from multiple ESXi hosts and an NSX Edge node to troubleshoot a cross-site issue. You want to use a method that does not require SSH access to each individual host. Which approach should you use?

Use the vSphere Web Client to export logs from all hosts and the Edge node

Use the NSX API to query the logs from each component individually

Use the NSX Manager UI to export support bundles for the hosts and the Edge node

Use the 'get log-file' command on each ESXi host via the vSphere CLI
