A database server has been experiencing intermittent I/O errors over the past week. The administrator runs `smartctl -a /dev/sda` and sees the following attributes: Reallocated_Sector_Ct = 45 (raw value), Current_Pending_Sector = 12, and Offline_Uncorrectable = 3. The RAW_VALUE_THRESHOLD for Reallocated_Sector_Ct is 0, and the current normalized value is 100. The administrator needs to decide whether to replace the disk now or continue monitoring. What is the most appropriate interpretation?

The administrator should wait until the normalized value drops below the threshold before taking action.

The disk should be replaced immediately because raw reallocated, pending, and uncorrectable sector counts are non-zero and indicate physical media degradation.

The disk is fine because S.M.A.R.T. attributes only report logical errors, not physical media problems.

The disk is healthy because all normalized values are above their thresholds.

What is the primary role of the monit tool in system administration?

To provide a web-based interface for managing user accounts

To perform regular backups of system configuration files

To analyze network traffic for security threats

To monitor system resources and services, and automatically take corrective actions
