A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An engineer opens the Log Router in a brand new project and finds two sinks already present. What are they named?
Correct.
Concept
A platform that must never silently drop a record has to ship with sinks whose filters between them cover everything. One of the pair is the safety net for whatever the other refuses.
Why A
Cloud Logging creates a _Required and a _Default sink in every project, billing account, folder and organization, and their filters together cover every entry that originates there.
Now you: objective 3.4 questions
No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
Sample question 1 of 3
A team wants to narrow the filter on the _Required log sink to cut audit log volume. What does Cloud Logging allow?
Sample question 2 of 3
An administrator finds one log entry delivered to two different destinations. How does Cloud Logging evaluate the sinks in a resource?
Sample question 3 of 3
A team ships log entries whose clock skew puts the timestamps several days ahead. What does the Log Router do with them?
