What is the primary purpose of S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) in storage devices?

To monitor and report indicators of drive reliability to predict impending hardware failures

To encrypt data at rest to protect against unauthorized access

To automatically back up data to a secondary drive when a failure is detected

To provide real-time performance metrics for disk I/O operations

A company has two servers connected to the same UPS: a web server and a database server. The web server is less critical and should shut down first when the UPS battery is low, while the database server should remain operational as long as possible. The administrator is using NUT. How should the administrator configure the servers to achieve this?

Configure the database server as 'master' and the web server as 'slave' in upsmon.conf.

Configure both servers as 'slave' in upsmon.conf and use a separate NUT master on the UPS.

Configure both servers as 'master' in upsmon.conf.

Configure the web server as 'master' and the database server as 'slave' in upsmon.conf.

A system administrator wants to use monit to monitor the disk usage of the root filesystem and send an alert if it exceeds 85%. The administrator also wants monit to check every 30 seconds. Which monit configuration correctly implements this?

check filesystem rootfs with path / if space usage > 85% then alert

set interval 30 check filesystem rootfs with path / if space usage > 85% then alert

check filesystem rootfs with path / if space usage > 85% for 2 cycles then alert

set daemon 30 check filesystem rootfs with path / if space > 85% then alert
