Question

Your company uses a Kafka cluster with end-to-end encryption to process payments and financial transactions in real time. The Kafka cluster is slowing as you onboard new customers and process more transactions. This is having a negative impact on overall system performance. You need to analyze OS metrics to determine what is impacting performance. Which two OS metrics should you analyze? (Choose two.)

Options

  • ACPU usage since SSL can lead to high CPU utilization.
  • BDisk usage percentage since encryption needs more disk.
  • CDisk I/O statistics since Kafka relies heavily on the performance of disks.
  • DOS version and name since certain OS images are optimized for Kafka.

Explanation

SSL encryption significantly increases CPU load, so examining CPU utilization helps identify whether cryptographic operations are creating a bottleneck. Kafka also depends heavily on fast disk operations, making disk I/O throughput and latency essential metrics to assess when diagnosing performance degradation.
