Wait, there's a log file specifically for LTM? I thought BIG-IP just used the 'magic smoke and mirrors' log.

I bet the BIG-IP admin just needs to unplug it and plug it back in. That's the real solution to all IT problems, right?

A: Maybe we should suggest the admin try your solution of unplugging and plugging it back in.

A? What is this, a trick question? The daemon log is for system daemons, not BIG-IP specific stuff.

B? Really? The kernel log? That's like looking for a needle in a haystack. I bet the power supply issues are in the LTM logs.

D seems like a good option. The audit log might record any power-related events or failures.

Let's check the audit log first to see if there are any power-related events recorded.

I think D is the best option too. The audit log should have the information we need.

I believe /var/log/kern.log is the right choice because it logs kernel messages, which could indicate power outages.

I think the answer is C. The LTM (Local Traffic Manager) log file should have information about the power supply issues.
