Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 710
Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYour organization is migrating its workloads to Google Cloud and wants to ensure proper logging and monitoring for its network infrastructure. You are tasked with setting up Google Cloud Observability tools to monitor network performance and troubleshoot issues. Which of the following steps should you take to achieve this?
- A
Enable VPC Flow Logs for your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks.
- B
Use Cloud Monitoring to create alerting policies for key network metrics such as latency and packet loss.
- C
Deploy a third-party monitoring tool to collect network logs and metrics, as Google Cloud does not provide native solutions.
- D
Enable Cloud Logging to collect logs from Google Cloud services such as Cloud Load Balancing and Cloud NAT.
- E
Configure Cloud Trace to visualize request latencies in your network traffic.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To effectively monitor and troubleshoot network performance in Google Cloud, you should use Google Cloud's native observability tools. Enabling VPC Flow Logs provides insights into network traffic, Cloud Monitoring helps you track key metrics and set up alerts, and Cloud Logging collects logs from various services, including networking components. These steps ensure a robust and integrated approach to network observability.
- A. Correct.
Enabling VPC Flow Logs is a critical step for capturing network traffic metadata, which helps in monitoring and troubleshooting network performance issues.
- B. Correct.
Cloud Monitoring allows you to create alerting policies and dashboards for network metrics, making it an essential component of Google Cloud Observability.
- C. Incorrect.
Google Cloud provides native logging and monitoring solutions, so deploying a third-party tool is not necessary unless there are specific use cases that require external tools.
- D. Correct.
Cloud Logging collects logs from various Google Cloud services, including networking services, which is essential for comprehensive observability.
- E. Incorrect.
Cloud Trace is primarily used for analyzing application-level latencies and is not a primary tool for network-level monitoring.
