Exam AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate topic 1 question 110 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate
Question #: 110
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate Questions]

An environment consists of 100 Amazon EC2 Windows instances. The Amazon CloudWatch agent is deployed and running on all EC2 Instances with a baseline configuration file to capture log files. There is a new requirement to capture the DHCP log files that exist on 50 of the instances.
What is the MOST operationally efficient way to meet this new requirement?

  • A. Create an additional CloudWatch agent configuration file to capture the DHCP logs. Use the AWS Systems Manager Run Command to restart the CloudWatch agent on each EC2 instance with the append-config option to apply the additional configuration file.
  • B. Log in to each EC2 Instance with administrator rights. Create a PowerShell script to push the needed baseline log files and DHCP log files to CloudWatch.
  • C. Run the CloudWatch agent configuration file wizard on each EC2 instance. Verify that the baseline log files are included and add the DHCP log files during the wizard creation process.
  • D. Run the CloudWatch agent configuration file wizard on each EC2 instance and select the advanced detail level. This will capture the operating system log files.

While I find no real solution in the internet for Windows instances, I will go with A because I can't believe logging into EVERY INSTANCE with 100x is a valid solution. Who does that 2022.

I go with A. D is valid, but not the MOST operationally efficient.

The wizard only can be used if you log to the instance. But there are 100 instances. That solution doesn't apply.
