(Which action must be used to create a metric filter in the Amazon CloudWatch console?)

To create a metric filter in the Amazon CloudWatch console, the first step is to select a log group from

which the log data will be analyzed. A log group contains log streams, and metric filters are applied

to the log data within these groups to extract metrics based on patterns. The WGU Cloud

Deployment and Operations Study Guide (Section 4.2, CloudWatch Logs) specifies that the process

begins by navigating to the CloudWatch console, selecting a log group, and then defining the filter

pattern. Actions like enabling an alarm, defining a trace, or specifying a stream are subsequent or

unrelated steps.
