IBM Certified Administrator - Cloud Pak for Integration V2021.2 C1000-130 Question # 11 Topic 2 Discussion

When upgrading IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) and switching from Common Services (CS) monitoring to OpenShift monitoring, it is crucial to determine whether CS monitoring is currently enabled.

The correct command to check this is:

sh

CopyEdit

oc get pods -n ibm-common-services | grep monitoring

This command (oc get pods -n ibm-common-services) lists all pods in the ibm-common-services namespace, which is where IBM Common Services (including monitoring components) are deployed.

Using grep monitoring filters the output to show only the monitoring-related pods.

If monitoring-related pods are running in this namespace, it confirms that CS monitoring is enabled.

B (oc list pods -A | grep -i monitoring) – Incorrect

The oc list pods command does not exist in OpenShift CLI. The correct command to list all pods across all namespaces is oc get pods -A.

C (oc describe pods/ibm-common-services | grep monitoring) – Incorrect

oc describe pods/ibm-common-services is not a valid OpenShift command. The correct syntax would be oc describe pod -n ibm-common-services, but this only provides details of a specific pod, not a general check for monitoring pods.

D (oc get containers -A) – Incorrect

The oc get containers command is not valid in OpenShift CLI. Instead, oc get pods -A lists all pods, but it does not specifically filter monitoring-related services in the ibm-common-services namespace.
