CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 4

Ann, a system administrator, is troubleshooting an issue with a DNS server. She notices that the security logs have filled up and that they need to be cleared from the event viewer. She recalls this being a daily occurrence.
Which of the following solutions would BEST resolve this problem?

Answer options

• A. Increase the maximum log size
• B. Log into the DNS server every hour to check if the logs are full
• C. Install an event management tool
• D. Delete the logs when full

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The best solution is to implement an event management tool (C), which can automate log monitoring and management, reducing the need for manual intervention. Increasing the maximum log size (A) may delay the issue but doesn't address the root cause. Logging in every hour (B) is inefficient and doesn't prevent the problem. Deleting logs when full (D) is a temporary fix that doesn't provide a sustainable solution.
