SK0-003 · Question #538
An administrator is receiving too many alerts for processor utilization on a server. Which of the following should the administrator perform?
The correct answer is D. Adjust SNMP thresholds. To reduce excessive alerts about processor utilization, the administrator should adjust the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) thresholds. This action directly controls when alerts are triggered without changing the server's actual performance.

Why each option
To reduce excessive alerts about processor utilization, the administrator should adjust the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) thresholds. This action directly controls when alerts are triggered without changing the server's actual performance.
Adding more cache might improve server performance in some scenarios but does not directly address the number of alerts being generated for processor utilization.
Configuring RAID 5 is a storage configuration that enhances data redundancy and read performance, but it has no direct impact on processor utilization alerts.
Installing an additional NIC for teaming increases network bandwidth and redundancy, but it does not resolve issues related to excessive processor utilization alerts.
Adjusting SNMP thresholds allows the administrator to change the specific utilization percentage or duration that triggers an alert for processor usage. If alerts are too frequent, increasing the threshold (e.g., from 70% to 90%) will reduce the number of notifications without affecting the server's operation.
