CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 132
An administrator is investigating intermittent, slow performance of a web server. The administrator performs a virus scan on the server but finds there is no infection present. Which of the following should the administrator do NEXT to mitigate the issue?
Answer options
- A. Increase the amount of RAM
- B. Reboot the server
- C. Check the system logs
- D. Perform disk defragmentation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Checking the system logs is crucial as they can provide insights into any underlying issues or errors that may be affecting the web server's performance. Increasing RAM, rebooting the server, or performing disk defragmentation might help, but without understanding the root cause from the logs, these actions may not resolve the intermittent performance problems.
