You need to recommend a solution to monitor the SharePoint Server 2010 server farm. The solution must meet the technical requirements. What should you include in the recommendation?

A distributed application diagram maps interdependencies between components for rollup health visualization but does not actively probe the farm to test availability or performance.

The Operations Manager management pack for SharePoint 2010 includes synthetic transactions that execute scripted test requests against the farm's web front-end services on a scheduled basis. These transactions validate that key SharePoint functions are responding correctly and alert administrators when thresholds are breached, providing proactive availability monitoring. This approach directly meets technical requirements for verifying end-to-end SharePoint farm health.

A subscription in Operations Manager delivers alerts or notifications to recipients but is not a monitoring mechanism that tests or discovers farm health issues.

An event rule captures specific Windows event log entries reactively after a failure has occurred, rather than proactively testing the SharePoint farm's functionality.
