Google Cloud Professional Cloud Developer — Question 130

You migrated some of your applications to Google Cloud. You are using a legacy monitoring platform deployed on-premises for both on-premises and cloud- deployed applications. You discover that your notification system is responding slowly to time-critical problems in the cloud applications. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Replace your monitoring platform with Cloud Monitoring.
• B. Install the Cloud Monitoring agent on your Compute Engine instances.
• C. Migrate some traffic back to your old platform. Perform A/B testing on the two platforms concurrently.
• D. Use Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring to capture logs, monitor, and send alerts. Send them to your existing platform.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it allows you to leverage Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring for efficient alerting while still utilizing your existing monitoring platform. Option A would fully replace your system, which may not be necessary. Option B only installs an agent without addressing the notification issue. Option C creates unnecessary complexity by reverting traffic back to the old platform.
