Google Cloud Professional Cloud Developer — Question 14

You migrated your applications to Google Cloud Platform and kept your existing monitoring platform. You now find that your notification system is too slow for time critical problems.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Replace your entire monitoring platform with Stackdriver.
• B. Install the Stackdriver agents on your Compute Engine instances.
• C. Use Stackdriver to capture and alert on logs, then ship them to your existing platform.
• D. Migrate some traffic back to your old platform and perform AB testing on the two platforms concurrently.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because using Stackdriver to capture logs and alerts allows you to enhance your notification capabilities while still leveraging your existing platform. Option A is not necessary as a complete replacement may not be required. Option B only enhances monitoring on Compute Engine but does not address the notification speed issue directly. Option D might complicate the situation without guaranteeing an improvement in notification speed.
