AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 96

A fleet of servers must send local logs to Amazon CloudWatch.
How should the servers be configured to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Configure AWS Config to forward events to CloudWatch.
• B. Configure a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent to forward events to CloudWatch.
• C. Install and configure the unified CloudWatch agent.
• D. Install and configure the Amazon Inspector agent.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the unified CloudWatch agent is specifically designed for collecting and sending logs and metrics from servers to CloudWatch. Options A and B do not directly facilitate log forwarding, and option D is related to security assessments rather than log management.
