Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
In OCI, alarms work in conjunction with the Notifications service to send alerts. You create a notification topic, subscribe an email address to that topic, and then reference that topic within the alarm configuration. When the alarm threshold is met (e.g., an 80% CPU usage average for 5 minutes), the alarm publishes to the specified topic, which relays notifications to all subscribers. Refer to OCI Monitoring and Notifications documentation for detailed guidance on creating alarms and configuring alert endpoints.
- A. Correct.
A. Correct. You must create a topic in the Notifications service and subscribe your email address so you can receive alerts.
- B. Incorrect.
B. Incorrect. You cannot simply enter an email address in the alarm itself. OCI alarms must publish to a topic, which then handles distribution to subscribed email addresses.
- C. Correct.
C. Correct. After creating the notification topic, you must specify it in the alarm configuration so that alerts are published to that topic.
- D. Incorrect.
D. Incorrect. Event rules are separate from the Monitoring service alarms. Alarms use the Notifications service directly, and event rules are not required here.
- E. Incorrect.
E. Incorrect. You need to publish alerts to an OCI Notifications topic for email, not to the Audit service, which is used for logging and auditing, not for alert distribution.
