I feel like the Query Insights dashboard is the most direct way to find high execution times, but I can't recall if it requires any special setup.

I practiced a question similar to this where we had to analyze logs. I wonder if using Logs Explorer would help pinpoint the slow queries.

I think viewing Cloud SQL operations could give us some historical context, but it might not show the current slow queries.

I remember we talked about using Query Insights for performance issues, but I'm not sure if it's the best option here.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key is that pgaudit is disabled, so I can't use that. But the Query Insights dashboard sounds like the best option to get the query performance data I need to troubleshoot this issue.

Okay, I think I've got this. Since pgaudit is disabled, I can't rely on that for query performance data. So I'll need to use the Logs Explorer to find the high-execution time queries. That should give me the information I need to identify the problem areas.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. I'm not familiar with the Query Insights dashboard, so I'm not sure if that's the best approach. Maybe I should review the application logs first to see if I can spot any database calls that are causing issues.

This seems straightforward - I'd go with option D to use the Query Insights dashboard to identify the slow-running queries.

This question covers a lot of ground. I'll need to review my notes on DCO to make sure I select the two most relevant benefits. Better safe than sorry on this one.

A seems a bit too broad, doesn't it? I mean, sure, you can view Cloud SQL operations, but that's not going to give you the specific query performance data you need.

Haha, I'm not even going to bother with option C. Reviewing application logs to find database calls? That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack!

I think the correct answer is D. The Query Insights dashboard provides detailed information on query performance, which is exactly what the question is asking for.
