Your organization has multiple teams that need to monitor different aspects of a shared application. The infrastructure team wants to see CPU and memory, the application team wants to see latency and error rates, and the management team wants a high-level health summary. You need to provide dashboards that meet each team's needs without creating an excessive number of dashboards. What should you do?

Create a single dashboard with sections for each team's metrics, and use dashboard variables to filter by team.

Create one dashboard for each team, with only the metrics relevant to that team.

Create a dashboard for the infrastructure team, a dashboard for the application team, and a summary dashboard for management.

Create a single dashboard with all metrics and share it with all teams.

What is the purpose of silent source detection in Cloud Monitoring?

To detect when a monitored source stops sending data

To reduce the volume of log data

To automatically scale resources

A critical service is down, and you need to quickly determine the cause. The service logs are being written to Cloud Logging. What should you do first?

Create an alerting policy on the service's error rate.

Create a new dashboard to visualize the service's metrics.

Restart the service and see if it comes back up.

Use Cloud Logging's log explorer to search for error-level logs and stack traces from the service.

You are designing a health monitoring strategy for a multi-tier application. You need to ensure that you can detect when a specific tier is unhealthy, but you also want to minimize the number of alerts that require manual investigation. Which approach should you take?

Monitor the number of active connections to each tier, and create alerts on sudden drops.

Monitor the latency and error rate of each tier's API endpoints, and create alerts on thresholds.

Monitor CPU and memory for each tier, and create alerts on high utilization.

Monitor the disk space and network I/O of each tier, and create alerts on high usage.
