QuestionQ13

Incident Response Processes

An engineer is reviewing a ticket for an unexpected server shutdown and determines that the web server exhausted usable memory and crashed.

Which data is required for further investigation?

  • A /var/log/access.log
  • B /var/log/messages.log
  • C /var/log/httpd/messages.log
  • D /var/log/httpd/access.log
Explanation

System message logs contain operating-system, kernel, and service events, including diagnostics associated with memory exhaustion and process termination. Web-server access logs primarily record HTTP requests and do not provide the kernel-level evidence needed to investigate an out-of-memory crash.
