Yeah, creating a new dashboard for each incident doesn't seem like the quickest option.

You would never create a new dashboard for each incident, which is what D is proposing.

A is correct. Option D is highly inefficient and time-consuming. Creating individual dashboards for every incident is impractical and slows down the triage process.

Selected Answer: A
Explanation: Cloud Monitoring provides predefined dashboards for monitoring GKE clusters, which facilitate an immediate and comprehensive view of cluster performance and health. As an SRE, utilizing these dashboards helps triage incidents quickly. You can also add additional metrics that are pertinent to the incident and create alert policies that will notify you when specific conditions indicative of an incident are met. This strategy allows for the proactive monitoring of incidents and rapid response when necessary.

Ans: D. Although creating dashboard per incident sounds confusing and inefficient, it is still better than the impossible option A as we can't edit or add metrics to a predefined dashboard. Inefficient option vs Impossible Option - Inefficient one is ok!

Optipn A is possible. You can't add widgets to predefined dashboard but you can create alert policies based on metrics. Although the structure of the question is actually misleading

Currently you can not modify pre-defined dashboards. Has no sense to create a dashboard for each incident. Conclusion: no answer is good enough

Selected Answer: D
"You can't delete or modify the automatically-created dashboards; however, when support for copying the dashboard exists, you can modify the copy. In general, you can also copy charts on a predefined dashboard to a dashboard that you create. Dashboards that you create are custom dashboards. Custom dashboards let you display information that is of interest to you, organized in a way that's useful to you. " https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/charts/predefined-dashboards
