1Z0-1067-25 Question 127
Select 2You have created an alarm in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 2025 to monitor your mission-critical compute instance in the 'Production' compartment when CPU usage exceeds 90% for more than five consecutive minutes. The alarm is Enabled, and you have subscribed your email address to an OCI Notifications topic. However, you do not receive any notification even though the instance� CPU usage has frequently exceeded 90% for more than five minutes. Which two actions should you take to ensure notifications are successfully delivered?
- A
Confirm the alarm� metric query references the correct compartment and instance resource.
- B
Change the alarm� severity from 'Warning' to 'Critical' to enable notifications.
- C
Verify that the alarm is sending notifications to the same OCI Notifications topic where your email is subscribed.
- D
Increase both the alarm threshold and duration window by at least 10% to allow for more metrics data points.
- E
Create or update IAM policies to grant the Monitoring service required permissions to publish metrics for your alarm.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
When troubleshooting an alarm that does not send notifications, first confirm the alarm's metric query accurately reflects the correct compartment and resource. Additionally, verify that the alarm publishes to the same OCI Notifications topic to which your email is subscribed and confirmed. If these are incorrectly configured, the alarm may generate triggers in the Monitoring service, but the notifications will not be delivered to your intended subscribers. Refer to OCI Monitoring and Notifications documentation for detailed steps on properly associating alarms with topics and verifying subscriptions.
- A. Correct.
Correct. If the alarm references the wrong compartment or resource, the metrics will not match actual CPU usage data. Alarms must point to the exact resource and compartment you want to monitor.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Alarm severity (Warning vs. Critical) does not by itself prevent or enable notifications. Although severity can affect how you categorize or handle alerts, it does not stop notifications from being sent.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Even if your alarm is properly configured, notifications will fail if they are not sent to the correct topic or if your subscription is tied to a different topic. You must verify the topic OCID and ensure your email is subscribed and confirmed for that exact topic.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Adjusting thresholds and evaluation periods might change how frequently or when triggers occur, but it does not solve issues with receiving notifications if the underlying configuration is incorrect.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Creating the correct IAM policies is necessary to allow services to read and publish metrics, but in a typical setup, the default tenancy or compartment-level policies already cover basic Monitoring service requirements. This is not the most likely cause of missing notifications in this scenario.
