Chad is the network administrator for Globe.com. The network contains a Windows Server 2003 Web server named WS1 connected to the Internet using a dedicated link. Chad runs a System Monitor log on WS1, which monitors the Bytes Total/sec counter on the Network Interface object.

The size of the System Monitor log is becoming too large for the available disk space, with sample rate set at 15 seconds and logs archived once a day. What should Chad do to reconfigure the System Monitor log settings to reduce the amount of data that is captured?
  1. Retain the current counter, but set the sample rate to 60 seconds.
  2. Retain the current counter, but set the sample rate to 5 seconds.
  3. Change the counter to Total Bytes, and set the sample rate to 15 seconds.
  4. Change the counter to Current Bandwidth, and set the sample rate to 60 seconds.
Explanation
Answer - A - To reconfigure the System Monitor log settings to reduce the amount of data that is captured, Chad should retain the current counter, but set the sample rate to 60 seconds.

Key Takeaway: The Network Interface Bytes Total/Sec counter measures the total number of bytes that are sent and/or received from the network interface. This includes all network protocols. Less processor cycles are used when the sampling frequency is reduced. This is because a slower a counter is sampled.
