GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your organization runs HTTP(S) Load Balancing in project prod-app. You need to start exporting only the logs whose resource.type equals http_load_balancer to an existing BigQuery dataset called lb_logs that also resides in prod-app. Using the Cloud SDK, which gcloud command will correctly create the log sink that meets these requirements?

gcloud logging sinks create lb-sink bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/prod-app/datasets/lb_logs --resource-type=http_load_balancer
gcloud logging sinks create lb-sink bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/prod-app/datasets/lb_logs --log-filter='resource.type="http_load_balancer"'
gcloud logging sinks create lb-sink storage.googleapis.com/bq/lb_logs --log-filter='resource.type="http_load_balancer"'
gcloud logging sinks create lb-sink --destination=bigquery.googleapis.com/datasets/lb_logs --log-filter='resource.type="http_load_balancer"'

Answer Description

When you create a Cloud Logging sink with gcloud, you must provide:

A sink name.
The fully qualified destination.
A filter that selects the desired log entries.

For a BigQuery destination in the same project, the required URI format is: bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/datasets/DATASET_ID

The filter is supplied with --log-filter. Supplying the filter text without the flag, omitting the project path in the destination, using the wrong destination service (Cloud Storage), or trying to use a non-existent --resource-type flag will all result in an invalid sink or an incorrect export. Therefore, the only complete and syntactically correct command is the one that names the sink, specifies the BigQuery destination with the full project path, and includes the proper --log-filter flag.
