Free CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Actual Exam Questions - Question 13 Discussion
An administrator is troubleshooting performance issues on a server that was recently upgraded. The administrator met with users/stakeholders and documented recent changes in an effort to determine whether the server is better or worse since the changes. Which of the following would BEST help
answer the server performance?
B, assuming the baseline was taken before the upgrade for comparison.
A/B? I’m thinking B still edges it out because a baseline gives you a solid reference to measure if the upgrade improved or worsened performance. If the baseline wasn’t captured before, then yeah, A could help by showing current thresholds and spotting weird behavior, but it’s less about comparison and more about alerting. C and D don’t really fit since hardware lists and SLAs aren’t direct measures of how the server runs after changes. Without a baseline, you’re kinda flying blind for performance trends.
Option A could also make sense here. If the admin knows what the normal performance thresholds are, they can quickly tell if the server is hitting any limits or bottlenecks after the upgrade. This gives a clear idea if things are worse or better compared to those set standards, without having to dig too deep into detailed baseline data. So, it’s not just about past performance (baseline) but also the acceptable performance range (thresholds).
It’s B
