To determine how long logs are retained

To define the value of a metric that triggers an alert

To limit the number of users who can view the alert

A network engineer is creating a dashboard for executives who need a high-level view of the cloud network's health. The dashboard must show overall availability, top talkers, and any anomalies, but the executives are not technical. Which dashboard layout best meets this need?

A single panel with raw packet capture statistics

A set of panels showing availability percentage, top talkers by traffic volume, and an anomaly score

A graph of raw bandwidth usage per interface

A table of all firewall log entries for the last hour

Which of the following is an example of a dashboard customization?

Changing the IP address of the monitoring server

Adding a new widget to display a specific metric

Updating the firmware of a network switch

Modifying firewall rules to allow monitoring traffic

Which of the following is a best practice for logging network activities in a cloud environment?

Store logs locally on each virtual machine to prevent unauthorized access

Log only errors and critical events to reduce storage costs

Include timestamps, source/destination IPs, and user identifiers in log entries

Disable logging during peak hours to minimize performance impact

What is the purpose of customizing a dashboard in a cloud monitoring tool?

To display only the metrics that are relevant to a specific team or role

To replace the need for log analysis

To automatically resolve performance issues

To increase the storage capacity of the monitoring system
