Difficulty: MediumAzure Monitor and Log Analytics

A logistics firm runs a custom delivery dispatch application on Azure virtual machines. The operations team wants to track global Azure infrastructure incidents that could impact their deployment, and they also need to collect local performance counters such as disk write operations directly from the operating systems of their virtual machines. Which combination of services should the firm use for these two requirements?

  1. Azure Service Health to track global infrastructure incidents, and Azure Monitor to collect virtual machine performance countersAnswer
  2. B
    Azure Monitor to track global infrastructure incidents, and Azure Service Health to collect virtual machine performance counters
  3. C
    Azure Monitor to address both tracking infrastructure incidents and collecting virtual machine performance counters
  4. D
    Azure Service Health to address both tracking infrastructure incidents and collecting virtual machine performance counters

Answer

Azure Service Health to track global infrastructure incidents, and Azure Monitor to collect virtual machine performance counters
The correct answer correctly maps Azure Service Health to the task of tracking global infrastructure outages and maintenance, and Azure Monitor to the task of collecting performance counters from the virtual machine operating systems. Azure Service Health provides a personalized dashboard of the health of Azure services in the regions where you use them, while Azure Monitor gathers metric and log data from specific resources.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the service that provides notifications about global Azure infrastructure incidents, service outages, and planned maintenance affecting the subscription.
Azure Service Health is identified as the service responsible for tracking platform-level health and outages.
This matches the requirement to monitor global infrastructure incidents rather than individual resource telemetry.
2
Identify the service that collects and analyzes resource-level performance counters, such as disk write operations, directly from virtual machine operating systems.
Azure Monitor (specifically using metrics and diagnostics/agents) is identified as the service responsible for resource-level performance data collection.
This matches the requirement to capture specific metrics from the workloads hosted on Azure.
3
Select the option that pairs Azure Service Health for global platform incidents with Azure Monitor for resource performance counters.
The correct combination is determined to be Azure Service Health and Azure Monitor respectively.
This aligns both requirements to their correct native Azure management and governance services.
