Which of the following logging tasks should be evaluated in real-time?

Perimeter and inside log trend reviews are analytical tasks performed periodically, not in real-time, because trends require historical data accumulation before patterns become meaningful.

Routine account creation and removal is a scheduled administrative activity that poses no immediate operational threat and is appropriate for periodic batch review.

Log management system performance is typically monitored on a scheduled basis using capacity and health dashboards rather than requiring continuous real-time alerting.

Loss of service on critical assets demands real-time alerting because any delay in detection prolongs outages, increases business impact, and may indicate an active attack or failure. Real-time monitoring enables immediate incident response, minimizing mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR). This category of events cannot wait for scheduled or batch log reviews.
