Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The session has not yet terminated.
By default, logs are generated when the session ends. If a session is very long, it may need a log interval configured to generate interim logs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The 'Log at Session Start' option was not checked.
Why it's wrong here
This creates an extra log but doesn't fix missing end logs.
- ✓
The session has not yet terminated.
Why this is correct
Long-lived sessions will not generate a 'Session End' log until the session is actually closed.
- ✗
The log buffer is full.
Why it's wrong here
A full buffer would drop logs, not selectively ignore long sessions.
- ✗
The session is being decrypted.
Why it's wrong here
Decryption does not prevent session logging.
