Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 64

Dress4Win has configured a new uptime check with Google Stackdriver for several of their legacy services. The Stackdriver dashboard is not reporting the services as healthy.
What should they do?

Answer options

• A. Install the Stackdriver agent on all of the legacy web servers.
• B. In the Cloud Platform Console download the list of the uptime servers' IP addresses and create an inbound firewall rule
• C. Configure their load balancer to pass through the User-Agent HTTP header when the value matches GoogleStackdriverMonitoring-UptimeChecks (https:// cloud.google.com/monitoring)
• D. Configure their legacy web servers to allow requests that contain user-Agent HTTP header when the value matches GoogleStackdriverMonitoring- UptimeChecks (https://cloud.google.com/monitoring)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because ensuring that the firewall allows the IP addresses of the uptime checks is crucial for monitoring health. Options A, C, and D do not address the firewall configuration, which is necessary for the Stackdriver to receive the requests properly.
