Question 730
An operations review at a university network has corrected: A compliance analyst assumes Strata Logging Service retains events indefinitely and cannot retrieve a prior quarter's events after the configured retention window. Which observation specifically confirms success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A test record remains available in the intended archive for the required policy period. This evidence directly tests the intended corrective action: Review actual licensed retention and export needs and implement an approved archival workflow. It confirms the failure mechanism—Central log storage retention depends on service configuration and entitlement, not an infinite default.—has been addressed in the actual affected flow.
Incorrect Answers
Essential security and audit logs arrive and low-value duplicates are reduced within policy constraints. This would verify resolution of a different case: A cloud logging subscription exceeds its planned ingestion budget during a traffic spike because every allowed heartbeat is logged and forwarded at full detail. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Review actual licensed retention and export needs and implement an approved archival workflow.—worked.
A controlled deny produces the expected Traffic log in cloud search without allowing the flow. This would verify resolution of a different case: Threat logs are forwarded to Strata Logging Service but denied Traffic logs are absent because the deny policy lacks logging. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Review actual licensed retention and export needs and implement an approved archival workflow.—worked.
The same event appears under a correctly adjusted time filter with its original metadata. This would verify resolution of a different case: A SOC filters cloud traffic logs by an incorrect timezone and concludes that no relevant incident occurred. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Review actual licensed retention and export needs and implement an approved archival workflow.—worked.
