    GCP PCA · Question 49 · Technical Processes

    You need to design a logging architecture. Security audit logs must be retained for 3 years for compliance. Application error logs need to be analyzed in real-time to trigger alerts. Which TWO Cloud Logging export destinations should you configure? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Export audit logs to a Cloud Storage bucket with a 3-year retention policy

    B.

    Export audit logs to Cloud SQL

    C.

    Export application error logs to a Pub/Sub topic to trigger a Cloud Function

    D.

    Export all logs to BigQuery for 3 years

    E.

    Keep all logs in the default Cloud Logging storage for 3 years

    How to approach this question

    Match the requirement (long-term archive vs real-time action) to the correct GCP sink destination.

    Full Answer

    Cloud Logging allows you to create 'Sinks' to route logs. For long-term, low-cost compliance archiving, Cloud Storage is the best destination. For real-time alerting and event-driven architecture, exporting to Pub/Sub is the correct approach.

    Common mistakes

    Trying to keep logs in default logging (E) for 3 years.
