An administrator notices that a load-balanced service is frequently marked DOWN even though the application is healthy. The monitor is an HTTP monitor with a timeout of 2 seconds and an interval of 5 seconds. The application's response time occasionally spikes to 3 seconds during peak load. What is the most likely cause of the false DOWN marks, and what should the administrator do?

The timeout is too short; increase the timeout to 4 seconds.

The down threshold is too low; increase the down threshold to 5.

The monitor is checking the wrong port; change the port to 80.

The interval is too long; decrease the interval to 2 seconds.

Which scenario would most likely require the use of a custom advanced monitor?

Verifying that a database service is listening on a specific TCP port

Validating that an application's login page contains the text 'Welcome' after a successful login

Checking that a web server returns a 200 OK status

Pinging a server to ensure it is reachable

In a basic monitor configuration, what is the role of the 'timeout' parameter?

It defines the number of consecutive failed probes needed to mark the service as DOWN

It specifies the maximum time the monitor waits for a response before considering the probe failed

It determines how often the monitor sends a probe to the service

It sets the number of successful probes required to mark the service as UP

When configuring a basic monitor, what does the 'interval' parameter specify?

The number of consecutive failed probes required to mark the service as DOWN

The maximum time the monitor waits for a response before considering the probe failed

The number of successful probes required to mark the service as UP

The frequency, in seconds, at which the monitor sends probes to the service

How does a load balancing monitor affect the availability of a service?

It automatically restarts the service if it fails to respond

It marks the service as DOWN when it fails the health check, causing the load balancer to stop sending traffic to it

It changes the service's IP address when the service becomes unavailable

It increases the service's priority when the service is healthy
