2V0-41.24 Question 412
Single answerAn administrator is monitoring a VMware NSX environment and notices that a particular Tier-0 Gateway is experiencing high CPU utilization. The administrator wants to investigate further to determine the root cause. Which tool or method should the administrator use to monitor and analyze the performance of the Tier-0 Gateway?
- A
NSX Manager - System Overview Dashboard
- B
VMware vSphere Performance Charts
- C
NSX API - GET /tier-0-gateways/{id}/statistics
- D
VMware vRealize Network Insight (vRNI)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The NSX API provides a direct way to gather detailed performance and utilization metrics for specific NSX components, such as Tier-0 Gateways. This allows the administrator to analyze the high CPU utilization and determine the root cause, making it the most suitable option in this scenario. Other tools, such as the NSX Manager Dashboard or vRNI, provide general insights but lack the necessary granular data for this specific use case.
- A. Incorrect.
The NSX Manager System Overview Dashboard provides a high-level view of the NSX environment but does not provide detailed statistics specifically for Tier-0 Gateways.
- B. Incorrect.
While VMware vSphere Performance Charts provide information about the underlying ESXi hosts, they are not specific to NSX components like Tier-0 Gateways.
- C. Correct.
The NSX API allows administrators to retrieve detailed statistics, including performance metrics, for specific NSX components such as Tier-0 Gateways. This method is the most appropriate for diagnosing high CPU utilization on the Tier-0 Gateway.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware vRealize Network Insight (vRNI) is a powerful tool for troubleshooting and monitoring network traffic, but it is not the best choice for obtaining detailed performance statistics of a Tier-0 Gateway.
