Your organization has a compliance requirement to retain audit logs for 7 years. You also need to alert on specific security events in real-time. Currently, logs are stored in Cloud Logging's default retention. What should you do to meet both requirements?

Use Cloud Monitoring to create alerts on security metrics, and store logs in Cloud Logging for 7 years.

Increase Cloud Logging's retention period to 7 years and set up alerts.

Set up a log sink to export logs to Cloud Storage with a retention policy of 7 years, and create log-based alerts for security events.

Export logs to BigQuery and set up scheduled queries to detect security events.

Your team has developed a new version of a web application. You need to measure its performance under expected load and compare it to the previous version to ensure no regression. You have a test environment that mirrors production. What should you do?

Review Cloud Logging entries from the old version to estimate performance.

Deploy the new version to production and monitor Cloud Monitoring metrics for a week.

Use Cloud Profiler to analyze the new version's CPU usage and compare it to the old version.

Run a benchmarking test using a load-generating tool, collect metrics like latency and throughput, and compare them to the baseline from the previous version.

Your team uses Cloud Monitoring to track the performance of a batch processing job that runs nightly. The job's duration varies significantly. You need to create a dashboard that shows the job's duration over time and alerts if the duration exceeds a threshold that is 20% above the average of the last 30 days. What should you do?

Create a custom metric for job duration, add a chart to a dashboard, and set up an alert with a dynamic threshold based on a rolling average.

Create a log-based metric for job duration and set an alert with a threshold of 20% above the current value.

Use a fixed threshold of 2 hours for the alert, and add a chart for job duration to the dashboard.

Use Cloud Logging to analyze job logs and manually determine the threshold.
