   A company runs a web application on a load-balanced service. The application uses HTTPS on port 443 and returns a 200 status code for the root path. The load balancer currently has a TCP monitor bound to the service. Recently, the application's backend process started accepting TCP connections but returning HTTP 500 errors for all requests. The load balancer still marks the service as UP, causing users to receive errors. Which monitor configuration should be used to accurately detect this failure?

   • AChange the monitor to an HTTP monitor with a GET request to '/' and a response code match of 200.
   • BIncrease the TCP monitor's timeout to allow more time for the backend to respond.
   • CKeep the TCP monitor but reduce the interval to check more frequently.
   • DBind an ICMP monitor to the service to verify the host is reachable.

   A load-balanced service uses a custom monitor that runs a script to check the health of an application. The script returns exit code 0 for healthy and 1 for unhealthy. The monitor is configured with a down threshold of 2. The script occasionally returns exit code 1 due to a temporary network issue, but the application is healthy. The administrator wants to reduce false DOWN marks without delaying real failure detection. Which configuration change is most appropriate?

   • ADecrease the interval to 1 second.
   • BIncrease the down threshold to 3.
   • CChange the script to always return exit code 0.
   • DIncrease the timeout to 10 seconds.

   A load-balanced service is marked DOWN, but the application is healthy. The monitor is an HTTP monitor with a timeout of 5 seconds and an interval of 10 seconds. The administrator checks the monitor logs and sees that the monitor is receiving HTTP 302 responses. The application's login page redirects to an HTTPS URL. What is the most likely cause of the false DOWN mark?

   • AThe monitor's timeout is too short.
   • BThe monitor is not following redirects, so it receives a 302 status code instead of 200.
   • CThe monitor's interval is too long.
   • DThe monitor is checking the wrong port.
