Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 10

You need to monitor resources that are distributed over different projects in Google Cloud Platform. You want to consolidate reporting under the same Stackdriver
Monitoring dashboard. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Use Shared VPC to connect all projects, and link Stackdriver to one of the projects.
• B. For each project, create a Stackdriver account. In each project, create a service account for that project and grant it the role of Stackdriver Account Editor in all other projects.
• C. Configure a single Stackdriver account, and link all projects to the same account.
• D. Configure a single Stackdriver account for one of the projects. In Stackdriver, create a Group and add the other project names as criteria for that Group.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because configuring a single Stackdriver account allows you to monitor and report on resources from multiple projects efficiently. Options A and B complicate the setup by requiring individual connections or accounts for each project, while D limits reporting capabilities by tying it to only one project instead of utilizing a consolidated account.
