LPI 701-100 Exam - Topic 2 Question 9 Discussion

A recently installed application writes log data to /opt/app/log/info.log. If Filebeat is already installed and set up for communication with a remote Logstash, what has to be done in order to submit the log data of the new application to Logstash?
E) Replace /opt/app/log/info.log by a symbolic link to /dev/filebeat and restart the new application.
A) Add an additional input channel with the option source => ''/opt/app/log/info.log'' to the Logstash configuration.
B) Configure logrotate to execute filebeat --I /opt/app/log/info.log 0 after each rotation of /opt/app/log/info.log.
C) Add the log file to the path option within the log prospector in the Filebeat configuration and restart Filebeat.
D) Add a new cron job that invokes filebeat --i /opt/app/log/info.log periodically.

A symbolic link to /dev/filebeat? That sounds weird, is that even a thing?

Option A seems like a good choice too, but C is simpler.

Wait, why would you use a cron job for this? Sounds unnecessary.

Just add the log file to the Filebeat config and restart it.

I don't recall needing to set up a cron job for Filebeat. It seems like we should just update the Filebeat config and restart it.

Adding an input channel directly to Logstash sounds familiar, but I feel like that’s not the right approach for this scenario.

I remember a practice question where we had to configure Filebeat to read a new log file. I think it was about modifying the prospector settings.

I think we need to add the log file to the Filebeat configuration, but I'm not sure if it's the path option or something else.

Whoa, this is a lot of information to take in. I better take my time and really analyze each part of the question carefully. Rushing through this could lead me to the wrong answer, so I'll be sure to read everything thoroughly.

This is a tricky one, but I think the answer is C. Using a 'SSH Username with private key' credential scoped to 'Agents' should give us the security we need without exposing the key to regular users. I'll make sure to set that up properly.

That question about finding the right combination seems similar to the practice questions we did on interest rate derivatives. I think selling a floor and buying a cap makes sense.
