You are the systems administrator for your company. The network runs Windows Essential Business Server 2008 and contains a server running System Center Essentials (SCE) 2007. You use SCE 2007 to manage all client computers on the network.
You want to use SCE 2007 to monitor performance data on all managed computers, specifically CPU utilization on managed computers, against a baseline that SCE 2007 determines based on the regular and expected activities of the computers.
What should you do?
A.
Create a static threshold unit monitor.
B.
Create an aggregate rollup monitor.
C.
Create a self-tuning threshold monitor.
D.
Create a correlated Windows event unit monitor.
Explanation:
You should create a self-tuning threshold monitor. A self-tuning threshold monitor monitors performance counters based on a value that SCE 2007 obtains by establishing a baseline according to regular and expected activity of a computer. Self-tuning monitors require a learning period to enable SCE 2007 to establish a baseline that represents the regular and expected activity of a computer. After the baseline is established, SCE 2007 continually logs subsequent activity of the computer and compares it to the baseline. The state of the monitor changes only when the performance counter exceeds the boundaries of the baseline.You should not create a static threshold unit monitor because a static threshold monitor is used to monitor performance counters based on a value specified by the user, not a baseline determined by SCE 2007.
You should not create an aggregate rollup monitor because this type of monitor does not use a baseline for monitoring performance of a computer. An aggregate rollup monitor is made up of a series of child monitors, which can be used to reflect either the worst-case or best-case state of the child monitors.
You should not create a correlated Windows event unit monitor because this type of monitor does not use a baseline for monitoring performance of a computer. Correlated Windows event unit monitors are used to define a health state for two different events that occur within a short time frame.
