The security administrator turns on logging for a firewall rule.

Where is the log stored on an ESXi transport node?

A/var/log/messages.log

B/var/log/vmware/nsx/firewall.log

C/var/log/fw.log

D/var/log/dfwpktlogs.log

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

When logging is enabled for a firewall rule in NSX, the logs are stored on the ESXi transport node in the /var/log/vmware/nsx/firewall.log file. This file contains information about firewall rule hits and is useful for monitoring and troubleshooting firewall activity on the transport node.

I bet the logs are stored in a secret folder called '/var/log/firewall_secrets.log'. Security through obscurity, you know?

To find the correct answer, I'll just ask my cat. They always know where the logs are hiding.

Wait, shouldn't the logs be in /var/log/messages.log? That's where all the important logs are stored, isn't it?

That's good to know. I'll make sure to check there for any firewall rule logs in the future.
