Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 82

Your customer wants to capture multiple GBs of aggregate real-time key performance indicators (KPIs) from their game servers running on Google Cloud Platform and monitor the KPIs with low latency. How should they capture the KPIs?

Answer options

• A. Store time-series data from the game servers in Google Bigtable, and view it using Google Data Studio.
• B. Output custom metrics to Stackdriver from the game servers, and create a Dashboard in Stackdriver Monitoring Console to view them.
• C. Schedule BigQuery load jobs to ingest analytics files uploaded to Cloud Storage every ten minutes, and visualize the results in Google Data Studio.
• D. Insert the KPIs into Cloud Datastore entities, and run ad hoc analysis and visualizations of them in Cloud Datalab.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because sending custom metrics to Stackdriver allows for real-time monitoring with low latency, which is essential for KPIs. Options A and C involve delays due to data storage and batch processing, while option D focuses on ad hoc analysis rather than real-time monitoring.
