Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer — Question 19

You support an application running on App Engine. The application is used globally and accessed from various device types. You want to know the number of connections. You are using Stackdriver Monitoring for App Engine. What metric should you use?

Answer options

• A. flex/connections/current
• B. tcp_ssl_proxy/new_connections
• C. tcp_ssl_proxy/open_connections
• D. flex/instance/connections/current

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, flex/connections/current, as it specifically measures the current connections for applications running on App Engine. The other options refer to different types of connections or metrics not directly applicable to App Engine, making them unsuitable for tracking the application's connection count.
