 The CpmiHostCkp table in the Postgres database contains the data for CPMI objects, such as gateways, clusters, and servers. The table column that should be selected to query for the object instance is the objid column, which is the primary key of the table and uniquely identifies each object. The objid column can be used to join with other tables that reference CPMI objects, such as CpmiClusterMember, CpmiCluster, and CpmiServer. The objid column can also be used to retrieve the object name, IP address, type, and other attributes from the CpmiHostCkp table itself. References:

To see the list of processes monitored by the WatchDog process (CPWD), you use thecpwd_admin listcommand.

Option A (cpstat fw -f watchdog): Shows firewall status and statistics for the "fw" context, not necessarily the list of monitored processes.

Option B (fw ctl get str watchdog): Not a valid parameter for retrieving the list of monitored processes; “fw ctl” deals with kernel parameters.

Option C (cpwd_admin list): Correct command that lists all processes monitored by CPWD, their status, and how many times they have been restarted.

Option D (ps -ef | grep watchd): This will list any running process that matches the string “watchd” but will not specifically detail which processes are being monitored by CPWD.

Therefore, the best answer iscpwd_admin list.
