CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 122

A systems administrator uses a remote execution engine to iterate through each IP address in a network and run a script on remote hosts. The script captures the remote system's hostname, IP address, OS distribution, and system uptime. The output of the script gets saved to the administrator's local workstation for future processing.
Which of the following is this an example of?

Answer options

• A. Performance monitoring
• B. Inventory
• C. Agentless
• D. Infrastructure as code
• E. Build automation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the process described focuses on collecting details about the systems within the network, which constitutes an inventory of assets. Options A, C, D, and E do not fit since they refer to monitoring performance, executing tasks without agents, managing infrastructure through code, and automating the build process, respectively, rather than inventorying system information.
