SAMPLE QUESTION:

You are operating an application on Compute Engine and utilizing Cloud logging for log collection. You have identified that personally identifiable information (PII) is unintentionally appearing in specific log entry fields. Your objective is to promptly prevent these fields from being written into new log entries.

What should you do?

• A. Use the filter-record-transformer Fluentd filter plugin to remove the fields from the log entries in flight.

• B. Use the fluent-plugin-record-reformer Fluentd output plugin to remove the fields from the log entries in flight.

• C. Wait for the application developers to patch the application, and then verify that the log entries are no longer exposing PII.

• D. Stage log entries to Cloud Storage, and then trigger a Cloud Function to remove the fields and write the entries to Cloud Logging via the Cloud Logging API.

Incorrect Answers:

• B. Use the fluent-plugin-record-reformer Fluentd output plugin to remove the fields from the log entries in flight.

• This Fluentd output plugin is used for reforming the log record, but it's typically less suited for removing specific fields compared to the filter-record-transformer.

• C. Wait for the application developers to patch the application, and then verify that the log entries are no longer exposing PII.

• This approach is reactive and could lead to delays in addressing the issue. Waiting for a patch doesn’t provide an immediate solution to the existing problem of PII in logs.

• D. Stage log entries to Cloud Storage, and then trigger a Cloud Function to remove the fields and write the entries to Cloud Logging via the Cloud Logging API.

• Staging logs to Cloud Storage and then processing them with a Cloud Function introduces complexity and potential delays. This method is less efficient for real-time log processing compared to using Fluentd plugins.

Correct answer:

• A. Use the filter-record-transformer Fluentd filter plugin to remove the fields from the log entries in flight.

• This option allows for immediate filtering and transformation of log data before it is sent to Cloud Logging. The filter-record-transformer plugin can be configured to remove or mask specific fields containing PII, ensuring that sensitive information is not recorded in the logs. This method is efficient as it processes logs in real-time and doesn’t require waiting for application patches.
