I feel B) is the best choice. It's where temporary outputs go.

Not so sure. What about A) /var/log? Logs are important too.

I think it's B) /var/tmp. Seems logical for temporary files.

No way, it can't be /var/config, right?

I didn't know it was in /var/tmp! That's interesting.

Haha, who needs to transfer the file when you can just read it directly from the BIG-IP? That's what the real pros do!
LA
Lashawn 7 months ago
Hold up, I think it's /var/config. That's where the BIG-IP configuration files are, so that's the logical choice.

Nah, it's gotta be /var/log. That's where all the logs are, so it makes sense the output file would be there.
GE

I'm pretty sure it's /var/local. That's where the BIG-IP Administrator keeps all their secret files, right?
MI

The output file is definitely in /var/tmp. That's where all the good stuff is stored!

I definitely recall that it’s not /var/log or /var/config, so I’m leaning towards /var/tmp as well.
SH

I’m a bit confused; I thought it might be in /var/log since it’s log-related, but I could be wrong.
GL

I remember practicing a similar question, and I believe it was /var/tmp that contained the qkview files.
AV
Avery 9 months ago
I think the output file from qkview is usually in /var/tmp, but I'm not entirely sure.

Okay, I think I've got this. The question is asking where the output file from the "qkview -s0" command is located. Based on my experience, temporary files like that are usually stored in the /var/tmp directory, so I'll go with B) /var/tmp.
KA
Karon 9 months ago
I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the qkview command is used to generate a support file, but I'm not sure which directory it ends up in. I'll have to review my notes to see if I can figure this out.
JU

I'm pretty confident the answer is B) /var/tmp. That's where temporary files are usually stored, so that makes the most sense to me.
LI
Linette 10 months ago
Okay, let me think this through. The question says the BIG-IP Administrator uses "qkview -s0", so the output file is probably in one of the /var directories. I'll have to carefully consider the options.
