GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your company just spun up several Compute Engine virtual machines. As the Associate Cloud Engineer, you must (1) display each VM's CPU utilization on a dashboard and (2) send an email to the on-call group when the average CPU utilization of any instance stays above 80 % for five consecutive minutes. You want the simplest solution that avoids installing or managing additional software on the VMs. Which approach should you take in Cloud Monitoring?

  • Enable Cloud Audit Logs for the project, define a metric on Compute Engine API calls, and set up a dashboard and alerting policy on that audit-log metric with an email notification.

  • Install the Ops Agent on every VM to collect agent.googleapis.com/cpu/user_time, then build a dashboard and alerting policy that reference this agent metric and send email notifications.

  • Use the default metric compute.googleapis.com/instance/cpu/utilization that Compute Engine sends automatically, create a dashboard chart with that metric, and set an alerting policy with a 5-minute, 80 % threshold that emails the on-call group.

  • Create a logs-based metric from each VM's syslog entries, export it to Cloud Monitoring, and configure a dashboard and alert that evaluate the custom metric and email the on-call group.
