Question

Your company runs three separate Google Cloud projects: a shared monitoring project called 'ops-central', plus 'app-prod' and 'app-staging' that host workloads. The operations team wants to view Compute Engine and log-based metrics from both workload projects in a single set of dashboards inside 'ops-central', without duplicating agents or copying data. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

In the 'ops-central' project, configure a metrics scope and add 'app-prod' and 'app-staging' as monitored projects.

Answer

Create a logging sink in each workload project that exports metrics to a Pub/Sub topic in 'ops-central'.

Answer

Enable VPC Network Peering between the three projects so metrics can be shared over the internal network.

Answer

Install the Ops Agent in 'ops-central' and point each workload VM's agent configuration to write to 'ops-central'.
