Q1

A financial services company is using OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) to trace transactions across a distributed microservices application. During a performance review, the team notices that traces for a specific high-volume, low-latency payment processing service are being heavily sampled, causing them to miss critical outlier transactions. They need to ensure 100% of traces for this specific service are captured without impacting the default sampling for other services. Which configuration should be implemented in the APM agent?

Q2

A DevOps team is managing a large fleet of compute instances and needs to ingest custom application logs into OCI Logging Analytics. The logs are unstructured and contain key-value pairs mixed with free text. The team wants to automatically extract fields like `userID`, `transactionID`, and `errorCode` during ingestion without defining a complex regex parser for every log variation. Which OCI Logging Analytics feature should they leverage?

Q3

A Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) is creating a sophisticated alarm in OCI Monitoring to detect a sudden drop in application requests, which could indicate a service outage. The alarm should only trigger if the request count drops by more than 50% compared to the same time period one week ago. Which feature of the Monitoring Query Language (MQL) is essential for creating this alarm rule?

Q4Multiple answers

An e-commerce platform wants to automate the archival of all VCN Flow Logs and Load Balancer logs to a long-term cold storage bucket in OCI Object Storage for compliance reasons. The logs must be moved from OCI Logging to Object Storage automatically every 24 hours. Additionally, a notification should be sent to a security team's PagerDuty endpoint upon successful archival. Which two OCI services are best suited to build this automated workflow? (Select TWO)

Q5

True or False: OCI Stack Monitoring can automatically discover and create a topology map of an application stack that includes Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle Database, and the underlying host compute instances, provided the Management Agent is correctly installed and configured on all hosts.

Q6

A cloud administrator has configured an OCI Events rule to trigger a serverless function whenever a new compute instance is created. During testing, the administrator observes that the function is not being invoked. They have verified the function's code and its IAM policy, which are both correct. What is the most likely misconfiguration in the OCI Events service causing this issue?

Q7

A new observability engineer is tasked with explaining the fundamental differences between the three pillars of observability to a group of junior developers. Which statement accurately distinguishes between metrics, logs, and traces in the context of the OCI Observability and Management platform?

Q8

A retail company is preparing for a major sales event and has deployed OCI APM with Real User Monitoring (RUM) to track the performance of their public-facing website. The goal is to get immediate insight into how actual users are experiencing the site's performance, including page load times and JavaScript errors, from different geographic locations and browsers. Which component must be implemented to enable RUM?

Q9

A systems administrator is troubleshooting performance issues on a critical Oracle Database running on a compute instance. They are using OCI Logging Analytics and have ingested the database alert logs. To quickly identify the root cause, they want to find all log entries that are temporally and contextually related to a specific `ORA-00600` error. Which Logging Analytics feature is best suited for this type of exploratory analysis?

Q10

A cloud operations team needs to monitor the health of a custom application running on a compute instance. The application exposes its health status via a custom metric named `app_health_status` with a value of `1` for healthy and `0` for unhealthy. The metric is published to a custom namespace `my_app_metrics`. What is the correct procedure to create an alarm that triggers when the application is unhealthy for more than 5 consecutive minutes?
