What should you do?

You have a set of applications running on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster, and you are using Stackdriver Kubernetes Engine Monitoring. You are bringing a new containerized application required by your company into production. This application is written by a third party and cannot be modified or reconfigured. The application writes its log information to /var/log/app_messages.log, and you want to send these log entries to Stackdriver Logging.

What should you do?
A . Use the default Stackdriver Kubernetes Engine Monitoring agent configuration.
B . Deploy a Fluentd daemonset to GKE. Then create a customized input and output configuration to tail the log file in the application’s pods and write to Slackdriver Logging.
C . Install Kubernetes on Google Compute Engine (GCE> and redeploy your applications. Then customize the built-in Stackdriver Logging configuration to tail the log file in the application’s pods and write to Stackdriver Logging.
D . Write a script to tail the log file within the pod and write entries to standard output. Run the script as a sidecar container with the application’s pod. Configure a shared volume between the containers to allow the script to have read access to /var/log in the application container.

Answer: B

Besides the list of default logs that the Logging agent streams by default, you can customize the Logging agent to send additional logs to Logging or to adjust agent settings by adding input configurations. The configuration definitions in these sections apply to the fluent-plugin-google-cloud output plugin only and specify how logs are transformed and ingested into Cloud Logging. https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/logging/configuration#configure
