Control plane and data plane log collection
Log collection is vital for proactive and root cause analysis. How many times have we ended up collecting the wrong set of logs or received feedback that we have to enable or increase certain logging levels to ensure that we have the right set of logs to analyze the root cause? Technically, that type of feedback is digestible. However, when it comes to production impact, it would be a disappointment to find that there is nothing conclusive, even after going through the logs. There is only one solution for this issue: we should know what logs need to be collected and most importantly, from which locality. First and foremost, we need to get some background knowledge on the following points:
Understanding the physical topology
Understanding the physical topology is not only important for overall NSX design and feature configuration, it is equally important to share effective feedback if there is a better way to approach the overall design. The following...
