1. Apigee Analytics Viewer Role: • The roles/apigee.analyticsViewer (Apigee Analytics Viewer) IAM role specifically provides access to Apigee Analytics, which is the right tool for monitoring API traffic patterns, latencies, response codes, error rates, etc. • It is Google-recommended to assign least privilege IAM roles that directly align with required access — in this case, access to Apigee API Analytics dashboards and data. 2. Use Apigee API Analytics (Not Cloud Monitoring): • Apigee API traffic patterns (like number of calls, error rates, latency) are natively visualized and monitored in Apigee API Analytics, not Cloud Monitoring. • Cloud Monitoring is used more for infrastructure and service-level metrics, whereas Apigee API Analytics is tailored for API-level insights.

Selected Answer: B

Apigee API Analytics is specifically designed for monitoring and analyzing API traffic. It provides insights into traffic patterns, response times, errors, and other metrics related to API usage, making it the most suitable tool for this purpose. Assigning the Apigee Analytics Viewer IAM role gives the operations team the necessary permissions to view analytics data without allowing them to make changes to the APIs, adhering to the principle of least privilege.
