AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 262

Question

A SysOps administrator needs to create alerts that are based on the read and write metrics of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that are attached to an Amazon EC2 instance. The SysOps administrator creates and enables Amazon CloudWatch alarms for the DiskReadBytes metric and the DiskWriteBytes metric. A custom monitoring tool that is installed on the EC2 instance with the same alarm configuration indicates that the volume metrics have exceeded the threshold. However, the CloudWatch alarms were not in ALARM state. Which action will ensure that the CloudWatch alarms function correctly?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Reconfigure the CloudWatch alarms to use the VolumeReadBytes metric and the VolumeWriteBytes metric for the EBS volumes. Amazon EBS provides block storage attached to a single EC2 instance. Amazon CloudWatch collects metrics, logs and alarms to monitor and react to operational health. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance.
