The internal IT department policy for monitoring server health requires that evidence of server reboots be collected and reviewed on a regular basis. Which of the following should be monitored to…

While uptime metrics will reset after a reboot, they only indicate that a reboot occurred, not historically when it happened or why it happened, which event logs provide.

IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) measures storage performance and is unrelated to tracking server reboots.

CPU utilization measures processor activity and provides no direct evidence of server reboots.

Server operating systems, such as Windows or Linux, record critical system events, including startup, shutdown, and unexpected reboots, in their respective event logs (e.g., Windows Event Log, syslog on Linux). These logs provide detailed timestamps and often reasons for reboots, offering direct, auditable evidence and context for review, which is crucial for server health monitoring.
