A server administrator is evaluating a server that runs a batch processing application. The Server dashboard shows CPU at 95% and Memory at 60% during the batch window, but CPU drops to 10% and Memory to 55% outside the window. The batch job is critical and must complete within a 2-hour window. The administrator needs to determine if the server is healthy. Which conclusion is most appropriate?

The server is unhealthy because CPU above 90% is always a critical condition

The server is healthy because high CPU during the batch window is expected and memory is stable

The server health cannot be determined without additional metrics

The server is unhealthy because memory should also increase during the batch window

An administrator is reviewing the Server dashboard for a server that runs a real-time analytics application. The CPU metric shows a consistent pattern of spikes every 5 minutes, reaching 100%, followed by drops to 20%. Memory and disk metrics are stable. What is the most likely cause of this pattern?

Random user queries that cause CPU spikes

A network issue that causes retries every 5 minutes

A memory leak that causes periodic CPU spikes

A scheduled analytics job that runs every 5 minutes

An administrator is evaluating the health of an application server. The Server dashboard shows the following metrics over the last 15 minutes: CPU at 85%, Memory at 75%, Disk I/O at 20%, and Network at 10%. The health rule for this server marks CPU > 80% as critical. What should the administrator do FIRST?

Investigate which processes are consuming CPU on the server

Ignore the alert because memory and disk are healthy

Increase the CPU threshold to 90% to avoid false alarms

Restart the server to clear the CPU usage

In AppDynamics, what is the purpose of the time range selector on a server performance dashboard?

To filter the metrics shown on the dashboard

To change the color scheme of the dashboard

To specify the period of data to display
