ASSOCIATE-CLOUD-ENGINEER · Question #284
You are using Looker Studio to visualize a table from your data warehouse that is built on top of BigQuery. Data is appended to the data warehouse during the day. At night, the daily summary is recalc
The correct answer is D. Use the BigQuery interface to review the nightly job and look for any errors.. To analyze broken Looker Studio charts sourcing from a nightly overwritten BigQuery table, the most effective step is to review the nightly BigQuery job within the BigQuery interface for any errors or failures during the data recalculation and overwrite process.

Why each option
To analyze broken Looker Studio charts sourcing from a nightly overwritten BigQuery table, the most effective step is to review the nightly BigQuery job within the BigQuery interface for any errors or failures during the data recalculation and overwrite process.
Cloud Logging might contain some operational logs, but it's not the primary place to diagnose data processing errors related to a BigQuery job that populates a table used by Looker Studio.
Snapshot Debugger is a tool for debugging application code, not for analyzing data processing failures within BigQuery or data pipeline jobs.
Error Reporting aggregates application errors and is generally not the go-to service for identifying failures in BigQuery data loading or transformation jobs.
Since the BigQuery table is overwritten nightly, the most direct approach to diagnose why Looker Studio charts are broken is to examine the execution and logs of that nightly job within the BigQuery interface to identify any failures or data quality issues during the recalculation process.
