HashiCorp Exam Terraform-Associate-003 Topic 6 Question 27 Discussion

Actual exam question for HashiCorp's Terraform-Associate-003 exam

Question #: 27
Topic #: 6

While attempting to deploy resources into your cloud provider using Terraform, you begin to see some odd behavior and experience slow responses. In order to troubleshoot you decide to turn on Terraform debugging. Which environment variables must be configured to make Terraform's logging more verbose?

ATF_LOG_PAIH

BTF_LOG

CTF_VAR_log_path

DTF_VAR_log_level

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To make Terraform's logging more verbose for troubleshooting purposes, you must configure the TF_LOG environment variable. This variable controls the level of logging and can be set to TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, or ERROR, with TRACE providing the most verbose output. Reference = Detailed debugging instructions and the use of environment variables like TF_LOG for increasing verbosity are part of Terraform's standard debugging practices

You need to set TF_LOG for verbose logging.

I’m a bit confused; I thought TF_VAR_log_level might be relevant too, but I can't recall if it actually affects the logging output.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe TF_LOG is definitely the one we should set for debugging.

I remember something about TF_VAR_log_path, but that seems more related to where logs are saved rather than making them verbose.

I think the variable we need is TF_LOG, but I'm not completely sure if it needs a specific value to increase verbosity.

Alright, I've got a strategy for this. First, I'll eliminate the obvious wrong answers. A and C don't seem to be the right environment variables for controlling Terraform's logging. Then I'll focus on B and D, since they both seem related to logging. I'll try to remember any examples or discussions we've had in class about Terraform debugging to help me decide between those two options.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know we need to enable Terraform debugging, but I'm not sure if the answer is as straightforward as just setting an environment variable. Maybe there are some other steps involved that I'm missing. I'll have to review my notes on Terraform troubleshooting.

Okay, let's see here. We need to make Terraform's logging more verbose to troubleshoot the issue. I think the key is looking for the environment variable that controls the log level or log path. B and D seem like the most likely options.

B) TF_LOG, no doubt. Terraform's documentation is actually pretty good once you get the hang of it.
