GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

You are configuring a Cloud Monitoring alerting policy for a managed instance group that runs a web service. Operations require that the policy fire only when the CPU utilization metric for any VM stays above 80 percent for at least five continuous minutes. Occasional one-minute spikes must not trigger an alert. Which condition setting satisfies this requirement?

  • Change the metric's alignment period to 5 minutes and use the max aligner so each data point reflects the highest value in that window.

  • Apply a reducer that averages CPU utilization across the instance group over a 5-minute window.

  • Set the condition's duration (For) field to 5 minutes so the threshold must be violated for that entire period before an incident is created.

  • Configure the notification channel to delay sending alerts for 5 minutes after the threshold is crossed.
