Why each option

In ConfigMgr, site system status tracks the health of site system roles including distribution points, making it the correct target to alert on distribution point failures.

Athe ccmexec.log file

ccmexec.log is the Configuration Manager client agent log on managed clients, not related to distribution point health.

Bcomponent status of your distribution points

Component status tracks individual ConfigMgr components such as SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER, not the operational status of a distribution point as a site system role.

Csite system status of your distribution pointsCorrect

The site system status in Configuration Manager reflects the operational health of each site system role, including distribution points. When a distribution point fails or encounters errors, this is surfaced under site system status. Operations Manager can be configured to monitor this status surface to generate alerts on failures.

Dthe smsprov.log file

smsprov.log records SMS Provider activity for WMI-based administrative connections and has no relationship to distribution point availability.
