Which plug-in is used by the Cloud Pak for Data Audit Logging service to forward audit records to a SIEM system?

AOSS/J

BLogstash output

CFluentd output

DApache Kafka output

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The Audit Logging service in IBM Cloud Pak for Data uses Fluentd as the core log forwarding mechanism. Fluentd output plug-ins are configured to route audit logs to external SIEM systems such as Splunk or QRadar. These plug-ins are versatile and support multiple formats and transport protocols. Other options listed---like Logstash, OSS/J, or Kafka---are not the designated default forwarding mechanisms used within the CP4D Audit Logging architecture.

I think the answer might be Fluentd output, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember it being mentioned in one of the practice sessions.

This looks like a tricky one, but I'm going to give it my best shot. I'll start by eliminating any options that don't seem relevant to the Cloud Pak for Data service, then try to narrow it down from there.

I'm a bit confused by the options here. I know Logstash and Fluentd are log aggregation tools, but I'm not sure how they relate to the Cloud Pak for Data service. I'll need to do some research on that.

Okay, I think I've got a strategy here. The question is asking about the plug-in used to forward audit records to a SIEM system, so I'll need to focus on the options related to log forwarding.

Hmm, this seems to be asking about a specific plug-in used by the service. I'll need to review the documentation to see if I can find that information.

I'm not too familiar with the Cloud Pak for Data Audit Logging service, so I'll need to think this through carefully.
