CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 79

A server, which is used to collect data about the network and datacenter environment via SNMP, is running out of space. Which of the following should the server administrator implement to reduce disk utilization?

Answer options

• A. journald
• B. Snapshots
• C. logrotate
• D. tar -cvf

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, logrotate, as it helps manage and compress log files, thereby reducing disk space usage. Options A (journald) and B (Snapshots) do not directly address disk space issues related to log data, while D (tar -cvf) is a command for creating archives, which doesn't specifically manage disk utilization.
