Players of a trivia app report errors from an Application Load Balancer. An operator needs the request line and the target status those players hit. Which log contains that HTTP detail?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You’ll find the HTTP details in Application Load Balancer access logs: they show the request line and the target status. CloudTrail management events record API calls about the load balancer, not each player’s HTTP request.
Full Explanation
Application Load Balancer access logs record the HTTP requests the load balancer handles. Each line includes the client’s request line—the method, URL, and protocol—along with the status returned by the target and the status returned by the load balancer. That gives you the request line and target status the operator needs. CloudTrail management events record API calls, such as creating or modifying the load balancer; they do not record each player’s request line. VPC Flow Logs on the load balancer subnets record network-flow details, such as addresses, ports, and whether traffic was accepted or rejected, but not an HTTP status or URL. AWS Config configuration history records how the listener was configured over time; it does not contain each user’s full HTTP response. Exam caveat: access logs must be enabled and delivered to their bucket, or you will not have those request details in the logs. Practical check: enable access logging if needed, reproduce one trivia request, then locate its access-log line and verify the target status.
