    Subtask 2.1: Configure network topologiesOperationsCloud MonitoringMetrics Scope

    GCP PCA · Question 42 · Configure network topologies

    Your company has multiple GCP projects (Frontend, Backend, Database). The operations team wants a single pane of glass to monitor CPU utilization and error rates across all three projects. Which TWO steps should you take? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Create a new GCP project to act as the scoping project.

    B.

    Add the Frontend, Backend, and Database projects to the scoping project's metrics scope.

    C.

    Export all metrics from the three projects to BigQuery and build a Looker dashboard.

    D.

    Install the Ops Agent on all VMs and configure it to send data to a third-party monitoring tool.

    E.

    Use VPC Peering to connect the three projects so their metrics can be shared.

    How to approach this question

    Identify how Cloud Monitoring aggregates data across multiple projects.

    Full Answer

    In Cloud Monitoring, a 'metrics scope' defines the set of GCP projects whose metrics you can view together. The best practice is to create a dedicated, empty GCP project (the scoping project) and then add your resource-hosting projects (Frontend, Backend, Database) to that metrics scope. This provides a single pane of glass for dashboards and alerting.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking VPC Peering is required for metrics aggregation. Metrics flow through Google's APIs, not the VPC.
