Question 264

Which configuration task is best for reducing load on the management plane?

    Correct Answer: D

    Disabling pre-defined reports is a key task for reducing load on the management plane. Pre-defined reports can consume considerable resources as they are generated automatically and periodically, even if they are not needed. By disabling these reports, the performance of the management plane can be preserved.

B is enabled by default, so we can exclude it --> D is the correct answer.

Option D Report generation can also consume considerable resources, while some pre-defined reports may not be useful to the organization, or they've been replaced by a custom report. These pre-defined reports can be disabled from Device > Setup > Logging and Reporting Settings https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClSvCAK

Can you help my thought process out here as both B (Disable logging on the default deny rule) and D (Disable pre-defined reports) will reduce the CP load. What am I missing, as D seems to be the correct answer, but based on what can I discard B? Thanks!
