AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 167
A SysOps administrator notices a scale up event for an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group. Amazon CloudWatch shows a spike in the RequestCount metric for the associated Application Load Balancer. The administrator would like to know the IP addresses for the source of the requests.
Where can the administrator find this information?
Answer options
- A. Auto Scaling logs
- B. AWS CloudTrail logs
- C. EC2 instance logs
- D. Elastic Load Balancer access logs
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, as Elastic Load Balancer access logs provide detailed information about the requests made to the load balancer, including the source IP addresses. Option A, Auto Scaling logs, do not capture request details; option B, AWS CloudTrail logs, track API calls but not request-level details; and option C, EC2 instance logs, pertain to the instances themselves and not the load balancer's traffic.
