GCP ACE · Question 49 · Domain 5.3: Viewing audit logs

You want to view the Admin Activity audit logs for your project to see recent changes to Compute Engine instances. You are using the Google Cloud Console.

Which tool should you use to query and filter these logs?

Answer options:

A.

Security Command Center

B.

Logs Explorer

C.

Cloud Trace

D.

IAM & Admin Console

How to approach this question

Identify the primary UI tool in GCP for interacting with log data.

Full Answer

B.Logs Explorer✓ Correct
Logs Explorer
All Cloud Audit Logs are written to Cloud Logging. To view, filter, and analyze these logs in the Cloud Console, you use the Logs Explorer. You can write queries to filter by resource type (e.g., `gce_instance`), log name (`cloudaudit.googleapis.com/activity`), and specific users.

Common mistakes

Looking for a dedicated 'Audit' page, rather than using the centralized Logs Explorer.
