1Z0-1072-26 Observability And Management Practice Test 2 — 15 Questions

Question 1

When writing an LQL query, which keyword is used to filter log records based on a specific field value?

Accepted Answer

filter. In LQL (Log Query Language), the 'filter' keyword is used to narrow down log records based on specific field values and criteria.

Answer

limit

Answer

find

Answer

select

Question 2

In Resource Manager, what is a 'Stack'?

Accepted Answer

A collection of Terraform resources. In Infrastructure as Code tools like AWS CloudFormation or Pulumi, a 'Stack' refers to a collection of cloud resources managed as a single unit. In Terraform, the equivalent concept is typically a workspace or configuration directory, though some orchestration platforms wrap Terraform into 'stacks'.

Answer

A database container

Answer

A storage backup set

Answer

A virtual machine cluster

Question 3

Which THREE things can you do with Resource Manager?

Accepted Answer

Provision infrastructure using Terraform. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Resource Manager is a managed service that uses Terraform to provision, manage, and maintain infrastructure. Therefore, you can provision infrastructure, import existing Terraform configurations, and maintain Terraform state files using OCI Resource Manager.

Answer

Scan for malware on compute instances

Answer

Directly patch OS images

Question 4

Which TWO actions can you perform in the Logging service?

Accepted Answer

Search and view logs. Option C is correct because the Logging service (e.g., Google Cloud Logging) provides a Logs Explorer interface and query language that let you search, filter, and view log entries across projects and resources. Option D is correct because Logging integrates with Monitoring to let you create log-based alerts/alarms that trigger when log queries match specified conditions, such as error patterns or specific events. Option A is incorrect because changing the OS kernel version is an operating system administration task, not a logging function. Option B is incorrect because recompiling source code is a software build activity unrelated to log management. Option E is incorrect because you do not SSH directly into a log file; logs are accessed through the logging service's API, console, or CLI, not via SSH to a file.

Answer

Change the OS kernel version

Answer

Recompile source code

Answer

Directly SSH into a log file

Question 5

Which TWO services provide visibility into your infrastructure usage and health?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring. Monitoring and Logging are the standard services for observability in cloud environments. Monitoring provides metrics and health status, while Logging provides detailed event records.

Answer

Block Volume

Answer

Object Storage

Answer

Vault

Question 6

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.. Option D is correct because OCI Resource Manager is Oracle's managed Terraform service: a stack is built from Terraform configuration (HCL) and jobs such as plan/apply provision and configure OCI infrastructure resources declaratively. Option E is correct because Resource Manager supports importing existing OCI resources into a stack's Terraform state, typically via the "Import state" / terraform import workflow, so previously created resources become tracked and manageable by that stack. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they describe monitoring and logging capabilities, not Resource Manager: threshold-based bucket-size email alerts are handled by OCI Monitoring alarms with Notifications, custom time-series metric alarms for CPU/memory are created in OCI Monitoring (with agent metrics), and ingesting/parsing application logs is done by the OCI Logging service (and Logging Analytics), none of which are functions of Resource Manager 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 7

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 runs 'terraform plan' against the configuration and current state, producing an execution plan that shows what resources will be added, changed, or destroyed — without making any changes. This is exactly the preview capability the developer needs before applying.

Answer

Apply Job

Answer

Import Job

Answer

Destroy Job

Question 8

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 9

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 10

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).. To be notified via email when CPU utilization exceeds 90% for 5 minutes, you need OCI Monitoring to create an alarm on the CpuUtilization metric with the specified threshold and duration, and OCI Notifications to send the email via a topic subscription. Monitoring evaluates the metric and triggers the alarm, which publishes to the Notifications topic, delivering the email.

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 11

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.. Option A is correct because IAM policies can be scoped to the tag-namespace and tag-key level (for example, using `Allow group X to use tag-namespaces in tenancy where request.principal...` and `inspect`/`use` verbs on defined tags), letting you restrict which user groups may create or update specific defined tag values, which is essential for governance and preventing unauthorized tag changes. Option C is correct because Defined Tags live in a tag namespace with a controlled, schema-like key-value structure, support validation and default values, and are the recommended mechanism for enforcing consistent, governed metadata across resources. Option E is correct because Tag Defaults are a compartment-level feature that automatically applies specified defined tags (and their values) to resources created in that compartment, ensuring new resources are tagged without relying on user discipline. Option B is not correct because Freeform Tags have no namespace, no schema, and no access control at the tag level, so relying on them exclusively would undermine governance and enforcement rather than improve it. Option D is not correct because OCI Notifications is a publish/subscribe messaging service for topics and subscriptions; it does not automatically convert tag keys into email subscriptions, and no such native tag-to-email feature exists.

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 12

Which THREE features are core capabilities of the OCI Audit service? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Automatically recording API calls for all OCI services within a tenancy.. OCI Audit automatically records calls to all supported OCI public API endpoints, supports querying via Log Explorer, and retains logs for a specified period.

Answer

Triggering auto-scaling groups based on real-time memory usage metrics.

Answer

Real-time execution of Terraform infrastructure code modifications.

Question 13

What is the purpose of the 'Tags' feature in OCI resource management?

Accepted Answer

To apply cost tracking and logical grouping. Tags allow you to organize and filter resources across compartments.

Answer

To define IAM policies

Answer

To manage network traffic

Answer

To automate patch management

Question 14

Which service allows you to view the audit logs of all API calls made in your tenancy?

Accepted Answer
