Question #: 40
Topic #: 2

[All 500-420 Questions]

Which two Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) accurately provide insight into server level resource consumption? (Choose two.)

ACalls per Minute

BAvailability

CAverage Response Time

DApplication Restarts

ECPU %Busy

FMemory Used%

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: E, F

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as 'CPU %Busy' and 'Memory Used%' are critical for providing insights into server-level resource consumption. 'CPU %Busy' indicates the percentage of time the CPU is actively working on processes, reflecting the server's processing workload. 'Memory Used%' shows the proportion of memory utilized, indicating how much of the server's RAM is being consumed by applications and processes. These KPIs are essential for understanding and managing server performance and resource allocation.

AppDynamics documentation on Server Monitoring: Includes information on monitoring server-level metrics, including CPU and memory utilization, to assess resource consumption.

I keep mixing up Calls per Minute and Application Restarts; I don't think either of those really shows resource consumption directly.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like Availability might not be as relevant for resource consumption compared to the others.

I've got this! CPU %Busy and Memory Used% are the two KPIs that will give the best insight into how the server is performing and consuming resources. Easy peasy.

I'm a bit confused. Calls per Minute and Application Restarts don't seem directly related to server resources. I'll have to double-check my understanding of these KPIs.

Okay, let's see. Availability and response time are more about application performance, not server resources. I'll focus on the options that seem more directly related to the server itself.
