A team uses a configuration management tool to deploy NGINX across multiple servers. Some servers are Ubuntu (package install) and others are built from source. What is the most reliable way to identify the core config file path on each server?

Assume it is always /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

Check the /etc/nginx directory on every server.

Run `nginx -V` and look for the --conf-path parameter.

Search for nginx.conf using `find / -name nginx.conf`.

An NGINX administrator wants to add a new MIME type mapping for a custom file extension. The mapping should be available to all server blocks. Where should this mapping be defined?

In the events block of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

In the main context outside the http block

In a server block within /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

In the http block of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

What is the primary role of the NGINX core configuration file (nginx.conf)?

It contains the compiled binary code for the NGINX server.

It logs all client requests and error messages.

It is the main entry point that defines global settings and includes other configuration files.

It stores the SSL certificates and private keys used by the server.

An administrator is reviewing the core config file and sees the line `include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;` inside the http block. What is the purpose of this line?

It creates a backup of all configuration files in conf.d.

It restricts NGINX to only read files from the conf.d directory.

It defines a new configuration block named conf.d.

It loads all .conf files from the conf.d directory into the http context.

A security audit requires that NGINX logs include the client IP address in a custom format. The administrator plans to define a new log_format. Where should this be defined so it can be used by any server block?

In the http block of the core config file

In each individual server block that needs the format

In a separate file included from the events block

In the main context of nginx.conf
