A company wants to monitor the disk space utilization of their SAP application servers. Which AWS service can provide a centralized view of disk space metrics without installing additional agents?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Systems Manager Inventory
AWS Systems Manager Inventory (Option A) is correct because it can collect disk space utilization metrics from managed instances without requiring the installation of additional agents—the SSM Agent is either pre-installed on many Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) or installed as part of standard Systems Manager setup, so it is not considered an extra agent. In contrast, Amazon CloudWatch (Option B) requires the CloudWatch agent to collect disk metrics, which would be an additional installation. AWS CloudTrail (Option C) records API calls and does not monitor disk space. Amazon Inspector (Option D) is a vulnerability assessment service and does not provide disk metrics.
