1Z0-1072-26 Observability And Management — 15 Questions

Question 1

You have set up an OCI Monitoring alarm with three distinct states: OK, FIRING, and RESOLVED. You want to ensure that alarm notifications are sent only during business hours to avoid alert fatigue among your operations team. How can this be accomplished?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Configure a Notification Suppression window in the OCI Monitoring service for non-business hours.. Alarm notifications can be controlled or silenced, but more specifically, OCI allows configuring repeat notification intervals and defining alarm schedules or using notification suppression windows.

Answer

Set the alarm severity to 'Info' so that it bypasses the email gateway outside business hours.

Answer

Delete the alarm every evening and recreate it every morning using OCI CLI.

Answer

Modify the Terraform state file in Resource Manager to stop evaluating metrics at night.

Question 2

Which TWO actions can be performed using OCI Resource Manager stacks? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Provision and configure cloud infrastructure resources using Terraform configuration files.. OCI Resource Manager uses Terraform to provision, update, import, and destroy infrastructure stacks.

Answer

Send email notifications when an object storage bucket size exceeds a threshold.

Answer

Create custom time-series metric alarms to monitor CPU and memory utilization.

Answer

Automatically ingest and parse custom application log files from compute instances.

Question 3

A company uses OCI Resource Manager to manage its cloud infrastructure using Terraform. A developer has modified a Terraform configuration file locally and needs to preview the changes that Resource Manager will make to the cloud environment before actually applying them. Which Resource Manager job type should be executed?

Accepted Answer

Plan Job. A 'Plan' job in OCI Resource Manager generates an execution plan, showing what actions Terraform will take when applied against the current state.

Answer

Apply Job

Answer

Import Job

Answer

Destroy Job

Question 4

You are configuring a custom log in OCI Logging. You want to parse and extract specific fields from unstructured application log lines using search queries. Which log feature allows you to query, analyze, and create visualizations from these ingested logs?

Accepted Answer

OCI Logging Analytics Log Explorer. OCI Logging Search allows users to query ingested log data using a powerful query language, and Log Analytics offers advanced log analysis features.

Answer

OCI Monitoring Metrics Explorer

Answer

OCI Events Rule Builder

Answer

OCI Resource Manager Jobs

Question 5

Your development team wants to automatically trigger a serverless function whenever a new object is uploaded to an OCI Object Storage bucket. Which OCI service acts as the foundational router to capture this object upload event and invoke the function?

Accepted Answer

OCI Events Service. The OCI Events service enables you to create automation based on the lifecycle changes of resources in OCI, such as Object Storage creations.

Answer

OCI Monitoring Service

Answer

OCI Logging Service

Answer

OCI Resource Manager

Question 6

You need to ingest custom application logs from multiple compute instances into OCI Logging. What is the correct sequence of components you must configure within OCI?

Accepted Answer

Create a Log Group, install and configure the OCI Logging Unified Agent on the instances, and create a custom Log pointing to the agent configuration.. To ship custom logs from compute instances, you install the Unified Agent, configure a log group, and create a log resource associated with a unified agent configuration.

Answer

Create a Notification Topic, add HTTP endpoints, and enable Audit logs.

Answer

Create a Resource Manager stack, deploy a Terraform template, and configure an email subscription.

Answer

Create a Monitoring Alarm, configure OCI Events, and link them to an Object Storage bucket.

Question 7

An OCI administrator needs to be notified via email whenever CPU utilization on a critical production compute instance exceeds 90% for a sustained period of 5 minutes. Which combination of services should the administrator configure to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

OCI Monitoring service (to create an alarm on the CpuUtilization metric) and OCI Notifications service (to send the email).. OCI Monitoring service is used to collect metrics, create alarms based on thresholds, and integrate with the OCI Notifications service to dispatch emails.

Answer

OCI Logging Analytics and OCI Notifications service.

Answer

OCI Resource Manager and OCI Monitoring service.

Answer

OCI Events service (to listen for CPU threshold events) and OCI Email Delivery service (to dispatch the email).

Question 8

An OCI administrator wants to implement a cost-allocation tagging strategy across multiple departments sharing the same tenancy. Which OCI feature should be used to enforce that specific tag keys and values are applied to resources during creation?

Accepted Answer

Defined Tags. Defined Tags with Tag Defaults or IAM policies enforcing tag values help standardize and govern tagging in OCI.

Answer

OCI Notifications Topic

Answer

OCI Events Service

Answer

Freeform Tags

Question 9

Which component of the Notifications service is used to define the destination for alerts?

Accepted Answer

Subscription. A Subscription defines the delivery protocol (e.g., Email, PagerDuty, Slack) for a Topic.

Answer

Topic

Answer

Policy

Answer

Alarm

Question 10

You need to trigger a serverless function whenever an object is uploaded to an Object Storage bucket. Which service should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Events service. The Events service allows you to create rules that respond to changes in resources, such as an Object-Create event in Object Storage.

Answer

Resource Manager

Answer

Notifications service

Answer

Monitoring service

Question 11

Which feature in the Monitoring service allows you to aggregate metrics from different compartments into a single dashboard?

Accepted Answer

Metric Query Language (MQL). Cross-compartment queries are supported by the Monitoring service to view resources globally or across specific compartments.

Answer

Compartment Explorer

Answer

Dynamic Groups

Answer

Logging Analytics

Question 12

When designing a comprehensive tagging strategy in OCI, which THREE practices or features should you implement for effective governance and cost management? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Use IAM policies to control which user groups are permitted to update specific defined tag values.. Effective OCI tagging relies on defined tags, tag defaults, and IAM policies to restrict tag value modifications.

Answer

Rely exclusively on Freeform Tags to eliminate administrative overhead for tag namespaces.

Answer

Configure OCI Notifications to convert tag keys into email subscriptions automatically.

Question 13

You are using Resource Manager to deploy infrastructure. You need to ensure that the terraform state file is automatically locked to prevent concurrent modifications. How should you handle this?

Accepted Answer

Use Resource Manager's native managed state backend. Resource Manager handles state locking automatically when you run jobs, ensuring consistency without manual intervention.

Answer

Enable the 'StateLock' tag on the stack resources

Answer

Configure a manual state lock in the Terraform provider block

Answer

Create a dedicated OCI Object Storage bucket for state locking
