IBM Cognos Analytics Developer V11 — Question 11

To monitor performance, an administrator has set thresholds on a system metric and notices that over time, the metric score has changed from green, to yellow, to red, and then back to yellow.
Which system metric is the administrator monitoring?

Answer options

• A. Dispatcher: JVM: Current heap size
• B. ContentManageService: Request: Number of failed requests
• C. ReportService: Process: Number of processes high watermark
• D. BatchReportService: Request: Percentage of successful requests

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the number of failed requests directly reflects performance issues, which can lead to the observed metric status changes. The other options, while important for monitoring system health, do not indicate a fluctuating performance threshold in the same way as failed requests do.
