CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 143

With increased traffic to a website, several outages have occurred due to a log files filling the root drive of the web servers. An administrator is considering several possible solutions to prevent future outages.
Which of the following techniques is MOST likely to impact server performance if implemented?

Answer options

• A. Archiving logs.
• B. Clearing logs.
• C. Log redirection.
• D. Drive compression.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Clearing logs (option B) can lead to performance issues because it may require the server to process large amounts of data at once, potentially causing delays. In contrast, archiving logs, log redirection, and drive compression are generally less disruptive to server performance as they manage data without requiring immediate processing of all log entries.
