Complete the code to enable Cloud Trace API in your GCP project.

GCP

gcloud services enable [1]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Enabling unrelated APIs like Compute or Storage instead of Cloud Trace.

Misspelling the API name.

The Cloud Trace API is enabled using cloudtrace.googleapis.com. This allows latency data collection.

medium

Complete the code to create a trace span using the OpenTelemetry Python library.

GCP

with tracer.start_as_current_span("[1]") as span:
    # your code here
    pass

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using generic or unrelated span names that don't describe the operation.

Leaving the span name empty.

Using a descriptive name like custom_operation helps identify the span in latency analysis.

hard

Fix the error in the code to export trace data to Cloud Trace using OpenTelemetry.

GCP

trace.set_tracer_provider(TracerProvider())
trace.get_tracer_provider().add_span_processor(BatchSpanProcessor([1]))

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AFileSpanExporter()

CCloudTraceSpanExporter()

DLoggingSpanExporter()

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using exporters that only print or log traces locally.

Not adding a span processor at all.

To send traces to Cloud Trace, use CloudTraceSpanExporter() as the exporter.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to configure the OpenTelemetry tracer with resource attributes and exporter.

GCP

resource = Resource(attributes={"service.name": [1])
tracer_provider = TracerProvider(resource=resource)
tracer_provider.add_span_processor(BatchSpanProcessor([2]))

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

CConsoleSpanExporter()

D"default-service"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using ConsoleSpanExporter instead of CloudTraceSpanExporter.

Not setting a proper service name.

Set the service name to a meaningful string like "my-service" and use CloudTraceSpanExporter() to send traces to Cloud Trace.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a trace span, add attributes, and end it properly.

GCP

tracer = trace.get_tracer("[1]")
with tracer.start_as_current_span("[2]") as span:
    span.set_attribute("http.status_code", [3])
    # your code here

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Derror-handler

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect span or tracer names.

Setting wrong or string HTTP status codes.

Use my-service as tracer name, request-handler as span name, and set HTTP status code attribute to 200 to indicate success.
