GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your company runs dozens of Compute Engine VMs that host internal web applications. SREs want to forward OS-level metrics (CPU, memory, disk, network) and application logs to Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging without installing and maintaining two different agents. They also need a single YAML file on each VM to enable collection of NGINX access logs in addition to the default system telemetry. Which approach best meets these requirements with the least operational overhead?

  • Enable Cloud Audit Logs at the project level and export them to Cloud Monitoring; no agent installation is required.

  • Deploy a Prometheus sidecar on every VM for metrics and use a custom script to send log files to a Cloud Storage bucket.

  • Install the legacy Monitoring agent for metrics and the legacy Logging agent with a Fluentd NGINX plugin to collect logs.

  • Install the Google Cloud Ops Agent on each VM and add an nginx_access logging receiver to the agent's unified config.yaml file.
