A DevOps engineer needs to create an alert that triggers when the number of ERROR logs from a specific service exceeds 10 in a 5-minute window. They have a query that counts the errors. What should they do next?

Use Cloud Monitoring's Metrics Explorer to create an alert on the log entry count.

Export the logs to BigQuery and create a scheduled query to check the count.

Create an alerting policy directly from the query using the Logs Explorer's 'Create alert' option.

Create a log-based metric from the query and then create an alert on that metric.

What is the purpose of a log sink in Cloud Logging?

To filter log entries before they are displayed in Logs Explorer

To delete log entries after a certain period

To route log entries to a destination like BigQuery or Pub/Sub
