Exam SK0-005 topic 1 question 161 discussion

A. Log rotation. Log rotation is a process of automatically moving old log files to an archive location and creating new log files. It helps to prevent the accumulation of old log files that can take up a large amount of disk space. By implementing log rotation, the server technician can ensure that the server logs are managed and maintained in a more efficient way, freeing up disk space. Log shipping is a process of forwarding log data to a central log server, which is not relevant to this scenario as there is no central log server. Log alerting is a process of generating alerts when specific events occur in the log files, which is not directly relevant to freeing up disk space. Log analysis is the process of analyzing log data to identify trends, patterns, and potential issues, which also does not directly address the issue of low disk space.

In information technology, log rotation is an automated process used in system administration in which log files are compressed, moved (archived), renamed or deleted once they are too old or too big (there can be other metrics that can apply here). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_rotation#
