Question

Your company has a sales web application that is accessed by sales representatives from around the world. The web application is on Microsoft ASP.NET and uses a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. The web application requires authentication. You deploy System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager. You need to test whether the web application is operational by using the Global Service Monitor. Which monitoring type should you use?

Options

  • AWeb application transaction monitoring
  • BWeb Application Availability Monitoring
  • COLE DB data source
  • DVisual Studio Web Test Monitoring

Explanation

Web Application Availability Monitoring is the correct choice when using the Global Service Monitor in Operations Manager 2012 R2 to test whether a web application is accessible and responding. This monitoring type sends synthetic HTTP requests from globally distributed agents (the Global Service Monitor nodes) to verify that the application is available and returns expected responses. It does not require deep transaction scripting or Visual Studio test files - it focuses specifically on availability and basic response validation, which matches the requirement of testing whether the app is 'operational.' Options like Visual Studio Web Test Monitoring (D) require pre-built test scripts and are used for more complex transaction simulation.
