Cisco Exam 500-420 Topic 1 Question 6 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 500-420 exam

Question #: 6
Topic #: 1

Refer to exhibit.

Refer to the exhibit. Using this heap utilization graph, which method is used to confirm if a memory leak is occurring during a certain time frame?

AIn metric browser go through Application Infrastructure > Hardware Resources and select Memory Total (MB) and Used (MB)

BRefer to the Tiers and Nodes section and into the Memory tab and visualize Heap Utilization (%) and Heap Current Usage (MB) Vs Max (MB)

CRefer to the Tiers and Nodes section and into the JMX tab and select JVM > Memory > Heap > Max Available (MB) and Current usage (MB)

DIn metric browser go through Application Infrastructure > Hardware Resources > Memory Total (MB) and Swap Used (MB)

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To confirm if a memory leak is occurring, one should refer to the Tiers and Nodes section of the AppDynamics Controller UI, navigate to the Memory tab, and observe the Heap Utilization over time in relation to the Heap's Current Usage (MB) versus the Maximum (MB) allocated. Consistent growth in heap utilization or an upward trend that does not decrement even after garbage collection indicates a potential memory leak.

I think C might be the correct answer, as it focuses on JVM memory

But A makes more sense because it directly relates to memory usage

But what about option A) In metric browser go through Application Infrastructure > Hardware Resources and select Memory Total (MB) and Used (MB)? That also seems relevant.

I agree with Shayne. Checking the Max Available and Current usage of Heap memory in JMX tab seems like the right approach.

I think the answer is C) Refer to the Tiers and Nodes section and into the JMX tab and select JVM > Memory > Heap > Max Available (MB) and Current usage (MB).

Haha, I like how the question is trying to trip us up with all those options. But I think Sharen and C are on the right track. Option B definitely seems like the most straightforward and logical approach.

Yeah, I agree with Sharen. Referring to the Tiers and Nodes section and the Memory tab to visualize the Heap Utilization (%) and Heap Current Usage (MB) Vs Max (MB) seems like the best way to identify a potential memory leak.

Okay, let's break this down. The question is asking about how to confirm if a memory leak is occurring during a certain time frame, based on the heap utilization graph. I think option B looks the most promising.

Hmm, this question seems a bit tricky. I'm not sure if I'm fully confident in my answer yet. Let me take another look at the exhibit and the options.
