Question 37
A recent change in the system baseline forced a modification of system log generation and collection. A system administrator has reported that multiple servers are quickly filling up storage space due to the new log file configuration. What should you recommend to prevent this from occurring in the future?
- A Adjust the log clipping levels in the baseline configuration.
- B Use log rotate to overwrite logs after they have reached 75% capacity.
- C Add more storage space to the servers to account for the new log files.
- D Use the log rotate feature to overwrite the oldest logs first.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
OBJ. 7.2 - Adjusting the log clipping levels in the baseline configuration will reduce the amount of log data being generated, addressing the root cause of the storage issue. Simply rotating logs or adding more storage would delay the issue but not resolve the core problem of excessive log generation.
