IBM Exam C1000-130 Topic 1 Question 67 Discussion

In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, which runs on Red Hat OpenShift, cluster logging can be forwarded to external third-party systems, with Splunk being one of the officially supported destinations.

OpenShift Log Forwarding Features:

OpenShift Cluster Logging Operator enables log forwarding.

Supports forwarding logs to various external logging solutions, including Splunk.

Uses the Fluentd log collector to send logs to Splunk's HTTP Event Collector (HEC) endpoint.

Provides centralized log management, analysis, and visualization.

Why Not the Other Options?

B . Kafka Broker -- OpenShift does support sending logs to Kafka, but Kafka is a message broker, not a full-fledged logging system like Splunk.

C . Apache Lucene -- Lucene is a search engine library, not a log management system.

D . Apache Solr -- Solr is based on Lucene and is used for search indexing, not log forwarding.
