A systems administrator receives reports that a web server running Nginx is intermittently unresponsive. The server has 8 GB of RAM and 4 CPU cores. The administrator runs 'free -m' and sees that available memory is low, and 'top' shows that several nginx worker processes are using a high percentage of CPU. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the issue?

Question 8hardmultiple choice
Read the full Operation of Running Systems explanation →

An administrator is troubleshooting a server that runs a critical application. The server has 16 GB of RAM and 8 CPU cores. The administrator notices that the server becomes very slow during peak hours. Analysis of 'iostat -x 1' shows that the average wait time (await) for the main disk (sda) is consistently above 1000 ms, while the average service time (svctm) is around 5 ms. What is the most likely cause?

A systems administrator is troubleshooting a server that runs a database application. The server has 64 GB of RAM and 16 CPU cores. The administrator notices that the system is using a significant amount of swap space even though there is plenty of free memory. The 'free -m' command shows: total memory = 65536, used = 50000, free = 15536, buffers/cache = 10000, swap total = 8192, swap used = 6000. Which of the following is the most likely cause?

Question 12hardmultiple choice
Read the full Operation of Running Systems explanation →

You are a systems administrator for a company that runs a high-traffic web application on a Linux server with 32 GB of RAM and 8 CPU cores. The application uses Apache with mod_php and MySQL. Recently, the server has been experiencing intermittent slowdowns, especially during peak hours. Monitoring tools show that the CPU usage spikes to 100% for several minutes and then returns to normal. The 'top' command shows that the 'mysqld' process is often the top CPU consumer during these spikes. You notice that the MySQL slow query log contains many entries with long execution times. The database is heavily used by the web application for read-heavy workloads. After analyzing the situation, you suspect that the issue is related to MySQL configuration. Which of the following actions is most likely to resolve the performance issue?

Question 13mediummultiple choice
Read the full Operation of Running Systems explanation →

You are a systems administrator for a company that runs a web application on a Linux server with 16 GB of RAM and 4 CPU cores. The application uses Apache with mod_php and PostgreSQL. Recently, the server has been experiencing high load average (above 10) and the website is responding slowly. The 'top' command shows that many 'httpd' processes are in 'D' (uninterruptible sleep) state. The 'iostat -x 1' output shows high disk utilization (over 90%) and high average wait times (await > 200 ms) on the disk where PostgreSQL data is stored. The database is write-heavy, and you suspect that disk I/O is the bottleneck. Which of the following actions is most likely to improve the performance?

An e-commerce company runs a critical application on a Linux server that occasionally becomes unresponsive. The server has 64GB RAM and runs a Java application. The operations team notices that during peak hours, the system becomes very slow and eventually the application crashes with 'OutOfMemoryError'. After restart, it works fine for a while. They suspect a memory leak but also want to ensure the system does not go down during peak hours. The system uses systemd to manage the Java service. The administrator needs to implement a solution that: (1) automatically restarts the service if it becomes unresponsive, (2) limits the memory usage of the service to prevent OOM kills on the system, and (3) provides early warning of high memory usage. Which of the following approaches best meets these requirements?

A system administrator is troubleshooting a production web server running CentOS 7 that became unresponsive. The server is still pingable, but SSH connections timeout. The admin performs an out-of-band console login. The server appears frozen; typing commands shows no output. The admin is able to trigger a Magic SysRq key sequence (Alt+SysRq+f) to kill the hung processes. After that, the server resumes normal operation. However, the admin wants to understand the root cause. Upon checking 'dmesg', they see repeated messages: 'NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!' followed by stack traces from a kernel thread. Which action should the admin take to prevent recurrence while maintaining system stability?

The 'journalctl -u tomcat' shows: 'Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly, cannot execute /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/bin/java'. The admin checks /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh and sees it references JAVA_HOME. The admin verifies that Java 11 is installed at /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk.

A system administrator notices that logrotate did not rotate the /var/log/messages file on a CentOS 7 server despite having a configuration at /etc/logrotate.d/syslog. The admin runs 'logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf' and sees that the syslog file is excluded due to 'olddir' option, but the olddir does not exist. Additionally, the logrotate status file (/var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status) shows that /var/log/messages was last rotated 30 days ago. The logrotate cron job is scheduled daily.
