Exam Professional Cloud Architect topic 1 question 184 discussion

First thing to do is to inspect logs and monitoring to see what is happening

When an application becomes slow, the first step you should take is to gather information about the underlying cause of the problem. One way to do this is by inspecting the logs and metrics from the instances where the application is deployed. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides tools such as Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring that can help you to collect and analyze this information. By reviewing the logs and metrics from the instances, you may be able to identify issues such as resource shortages (e.g. CPU, memory, or disk), network problems, or application errors that are causing the performance issues. Once you have identified the underlying cause of the problem, you can take steps to resolve it. The correct answer is A: Inspect the logs and metrics from the instances in Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring.

Logging Agent can be used

The admin has lost it

Key Word "find the underlying cause", so the answer is A.

Question mentions "You want to find the underlying cause in order to solve the problem" B, C and D are attempt to solve the problem without finding the cause

this has nothing to do with "gcp" in real, this is SRE instinct

A Is the Correct Answer

This is no brainer question, I would choose A

Agree with A. First remove any non possible answers: B / C. Then we have A or D left. But D does a good action / recommended action but it says "what do we do first" which is always troubleshoot.

First thing would be to inspect the logs

Answe is A. I would agree the question is stating "You want to find the underlying cause in order to solve the problem." Everything else is making changes without understanding the issues at hand

A is the only answer that is really caring about **analyzing** the underlying problem before **touching** anything.

key word is "You want to find the underlying cause in order to solve the problem"
