An administrator is installing a new application on a server. Which of the following should be performed after a new application is installed on a new server?

Encrypting the data partition is a pre-deployment hardening step that should be configured before application installation, not a verification task performed after.

System logs record installation events, service starts, dependency failures, and permission errors that may not be visible through the application UI. Reviewing them post-install is the standard validation step to confirm the application initialized correctly and to catch configuration problems early. Identifying log anomalies at this stage prevents undetected issues from compounding in production.

Establishing a baseline captures normal system performance metrics and is typically done before changes are introduced so there is a reference point - not as the immediate post-install verification step.

Enabling SNMP is an optional network monitoring configuration task and is not a standard required action immediately following an application installation.
