1Z0-997-26 Observability Practice Question
An application architect is troubleshooting intermittent latency spikes in a distributed microservices application deployed across multiple OCI regions. Which OCI capability should be used to trace requests end-to-end across service boundaries?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Distributed Tracing
OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) provides distributed tracing, capturing the end-to-end journey of requests across complex microservice architectures.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Distributed Tracing
Why this is correct
Correct. APM Distributed Tracing tracks transactions across microservices and regions using trace context propagation.
- ✗
OCI Network Visualizer
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Network Visualizer provides a graphical representation of VCN resources and routing, not application transaction traces.
- ✗
OCI Logging Analytics with out-of-the-box system parsers
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Logging Analytics analyzes log lines, whereas cross-service distributed tracing requires APM trace spans and propagation headers.
- ✗
OCI Monitoring service anomaly detection
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Anomaly detection identifies statistical outliers in time-series metrics, not distributed transaction flows.
