Question
Your company has a private cloud that contains a Microsoft ASP.NET application. The application is hosted by Internet Information Services (IIS) on a server named Server1. The application is accessed by using multiple URLs. You configure a watcher node on a server named Server2. You need to ensure that an alert is generated each time the watcher node receives an HTTP error of 400 or more. The solution must ensure that the cause of the alert is captured. Which type of monitor should you create from the Operations Manager console?
Options
- AWindows Service
- BProcess
- CWeb Application Transaction Monitoring
- DTCP Port

Explanation
Web Application Transaction Monitoring (Answer C) is the correct monitor type because it is specifically designed to synthetically test web applications by simulating HTTP requests from a watcher node. It can evaluate HTTP response codes, detect errors of 400 or higher (client/server errors), and capture the full HTTP response details - including the error code and response body - as the alert description, satisfying the requirement to capture the cause. A watcher node (Server2) is the SCOM component that performs these synthetic transactions. The other options are incorrect: Windows Service (A) monitors service start/stop state, Process (B) monitors process availability and resource use, and TCP Port (D) only verifies that a port is reachable - none of these can evaluate HTTP response codes or capture HTTP error details.
