1Z0-997-26 Observability Practice Question
Which TWO of the following statements are correct regarding the architecture and capabilities of OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM)?
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 APM supports ingestion of standard OpenTelemetry traces from applications running on-premises, in OCI, or in other clouds.
OCI APM supports both server-side tracing (Java, Node.js, Python, etc.) and real user monitoring (RUM) via browser agents. It ingests OpenTelemetry standard traces and does not require dedicated database storage to be provisioned manually by the user.
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 APM can only monitor applications deployed inside OCI Compute instances and cannot trace traffic originating from API Gateways.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. APM can trace requests across OCI API Gateways, Functions, Containers, and external endpoints.
- ✓
OCI APM supports ingestion of standard OpenTelemetry traces from applications running on-premises, in OCI, or in other clouds.
Why this is correct
Correct. APM supports OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP) ingestion for distributed tracing across multi-cloud and on-premises environments.
- ✗
OCI APM alerting is strictly limited to SMS notifications and cannot integrate with external incident management systems like PagerDuty.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. APM integrates with OCI Notifications, which supports HTTPS webhooks to integrate with PagerDuty, Slack, and other systems.
- ✓
OCI APM provides Real User Monitoring (RUM) capabilities to track end-user performance, page load times, and browser errors.
Why this is correct
Correct. APM includes browser monitoring (RUM) to analyze client-side performance metrics.
- ✗
OCI APM requires the user to manually provision and manage an underlying Autonomous Transaction Processing database to store trace spans.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. APM manages its underlying data store fully as a managed service without user intervention.
