An NSX administrator would like to configure syslog for a KVM transport node. Which host log files could be exported to a remote syslog server?

The selection of /var/log/vmware/nsx-syslog as the host log file that can be exported to a remote syslog server is correct because this specific log file is designed to aggregate system messages and logs in a format suitable for syslog compliance. NSX-T provides structured logging through this file, which allows it to be effectively transmitted over the network to a syslog server for centralized logging and monitoring purposes. This enhances the capabilities for incident response, troubleshooting, and compliance auditing.

The other log files mentioned, although relevant to various NSX components, do not have the same direct functionality for integration with remote syslog servers. For example, while /var/log/cloudnet/nsx-ccp.log pertains to the NSX Control Cluster and handles communication and operations related to the cloud management platform, it is not intended specifically for syslog forwarding. Similarly, /var/log/cfgAgent.log and /var/log/nsx-audit.log serve different roles in logging configuration agent messages and audit logs respectively, but they are not structured or designated for syslog export.

Using the correct logs for syslog configuration is essential for maintaining efficient log management practices in a virtualized infrastructure such as NSX-T.
