Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Monitor and Log Analytics

A company hosts a public-facing website on Azure App Service. The IT team needs to configure a monitoring solution to address two specific scenarios:

- Scenario 1: Receive alerts if Microsoft reports a global service outage or planned maintenance that affects all App Service instances in the East US region.
- Scenario 2: Track custom application metrics, such as page load speed and active user sessions, for their specific website instance.

Which services should the team use for each scenario?

  1. A
    Azure Monitor for Scenario 1, and Azure Service Health for Scenario 2
  2. B
    Azure Monitor for both Scenario 1 and Scenario 2
  3. Azure Service Health for Scenario 1, and Azure Monitor for Scenario 2Answer
  4. D
    Azure Service Health for both Scenario 1 and Scenario 2

Answer

Azure Service Health for Scenario 1, and Azure Monitor for Scenario 2
Azure Service Health is the correct service for Scenario 1 because it keeps you informed about planned maintenance, service advisories, and outages affecting Azure services across regions. Azure Monitor is the correct service for Scenario 2 because it collects logs and performance telemetry (such as web response times, page loads, and active sessions using features like Application Insights) from your specific application workloads.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze Scenario 1 requirements.
Identify that tracking global outages and planned maintenance that affect all customers in a region requires a tool that monitors the Azure platform infrastructure itself.
Azure Service Health tracks the health of Azure services globally and regionally, alerting you to issues that Microsoft experiences at the cloud provider level.
2
Analyze Scenario 2 requirements.
Identify that tracking application-specific metrics like page load speed and active user sessions requires an application performance management (APM) and telemetry collection tool.
Azure Monitor (specifically Application Insights) is designed to collect performance metrics, logs, and telemetry directly from application workloads and individual resources.
3
Map the identified services to the options.
Select the option that pairs Azure Service Health with Scenario 1 and Azure Monitor with Scenario 2.
This configuration correctly maps the platform-level health monitoring to Azure Service Health and resource-level telemetry to Azure Monitor.
