Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer — Question 71

You have enabled HTTP(S) load balancing for your application, and your application developers have reported that HTTP(S) requests are not being distributed correctly to your Compute Engine Virtual Machine instances. You want to find data about how the request are being distributed.
Which two methods can accomplish this? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. On the Load Balancer details page of the GCP Console, click on the Monitoring tab, select your backend service, and look at the graphs.
• B. In Stackdriver Error Reporting, look for any unacknowledged errors for the Cloud Load Balancers service.
• C. In Stackdriver Monitoring, select Resources > Metrics Explorer and search for https/request_bytes_count metric.
• D. In Stackdriver Monitoring, select Resources > Google Cloud Load Balancers and review the Key Metrics graphs in the dashboard.
• E. In Stackdriver Monitoring, create a new dashboard and track the https/backend_request_count metric for the load balancer.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Option A is correct as it allows you to view the distribution of requests directly from the Load Balancer's monitoring interface. Option E is also correct because it enables you to track backend request counts specifically. The other options either do not provide the necessary data about request distribution or focus on unrelated error reporting or metrics.
