Check Point Certified Multi-Domain Security Management Specialist (CCMS) — Question 21

The Check Point Watch Daemon (CPWD) monitors critical Check Point processes, terminating them or restarting them as needed to maintain consistent, stable operating conditions. When checking the status/output of CPWD you are able to see some columns like APP, PID, STAT, START, etc. What is the column “STAT” used for?

Answer options

• A. Shows the status of the monitored process
• B. Shows how many times the WatchDog started the monitored process
• C. Shows the WatchDog name of the monitored process
• D. Shows what monitoring method WatchDog is using to track the process

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'STAT' column provides information about the current status of the monitored process, which is essential for determining if the process is running correctly. The other options refer to different aspects of the monitoring process or the WatchDog's functionality, which are not represented in the 'STAT' column.
