PSE-PRISMACLOUD practice question 16 of 25

Full set: 115 questions
Answer options
A: audit from
B: network from
C: event from Correct answer
D: config from
Correct Answer:
C. event from
Explanation

To create a policy that notifies on a configuration change, the query must analyze audit logs for specific events. The Resource Query Language (RQL) event from query type is designed for this purpose. It searches cloud provider audit trails (e.g., AWS CloudTrail) for API calls and user activities. A change to a Security Group, such as modifying its rules, is an event that would be captured and can be used to trigger a policy alert.

Why Incorrect

A. audit from is not a valid RQL query type. The correct syntax to query audit log events is event from.
B. network from is used to query network flow logs and assess network exposure, not to detect configuration change events.
D. config from queries the current state of a resource's configuration, not the event of a change occurring over time.
