Which of the log storage method arranges event logs in the form of a circular buffer?
A.
FIFO
B.
LIFO
C.
non-wrapping
D.
wrapping
The Answer Is:
D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
In the context of log storage, a circular buffer is a data structure that uses a single, fixed-size buffer as if it were connected end-to-end. This structure lends itself to buffering streams of data, where the data is written to the buffer and read from it in a potentially non-sequential manner. When the buffer is full, new data is written starting at the beginning of the buffer, and thus ‘wraps’ around. This is why the method is referred to as ‘wrapping’. FIFO (First In, First Out) and LIFO (Last In, First Out) are queueing methods, and non-wrapping implies that the buffer does not overwrite existing data when full.
References: The answer can be verified through EC-Council’s SOC Analyst study materials and official courseware, which detail various log storage methods and their characteristics. Additionally, the concept of a circular buffer is a well-known data structure in computer science, often discussed in the context of system design and memory management.
