Why each option
To monitor production servers and determine if they go down, a technician should utilize an SNMP server. An SNMP server collects monitoring data and alerts from network devices.
A DNS server resolves domain names to IP addresses and does not directly monitor the uptime or status of other servers.
An SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) server is used to collect management information and traps from network devices and servers, including their operational status and availability. This allows a technician to monitor server health and detect downtime through alerts.
A proxy server acts as an intermediary for network requests, primarily for security or caching, not for monitoring server availability.
A DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network and is unrelated to monitoring the operational status of production servers.
