You are designing a distributed application that will be deployed to 5,000 users worldwide. Servers on five continents will host the Web services and the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 databases that support the application.
You have the following requirements:
Collect information about all errors associated with the application. Store and view all error information in a centralized location. Minimize the network bandwidth required for the transfer of error information.
You need to recommend a strategy for reporting error information.
Which strategy should you recommend?
A. Write error messages to the SQL Server databases. Synchronize the databases by using merge replication.
B. Write error messages to the event logs on the local computers. Use Windows Error Reporting to view the error information.
C. Write error messages to the SQL Server databases. Synchronize the databases by using transactional replication.
D. Write error messages to the event logs on the local computers. Use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to view the error information.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Correct: B Windows Error report offer a solution to centralize and view the error information.
Reference:
Windows Error Reporting (WER) (codenamed Watson) is a crash reporting technology introduced by Microsoft with Windows XP[1] and included in later Windows versions and Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0. Not to be confused with the Dr. Watson debugging tool which left the memory dump on the user’s local machine, Windows Error Reporting collects and offers to send post-error debug information (a memory dump) using the Internet to the developer of an application that crashes or stops responding on a user’s desktop. No data is sent without the user’s consent. When a dump(or other error signature information) reaches the Microsoft server, it is analyzed and a solution is sent back to the user when one is available. Solutions are served using Windows Error Reporting Responses. Windows Error Reporting runs as a Windows service and can optionally be entirely disabled. If Windows Error Reporting itself crashes, then an error reports that the original crashed process cannot be sent at all
