It tracks resource performance metrics, such as memory consumption, and allows you to set up alert rules to trigger automated notifications when these metrics cross specified thresholds.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the target monitoring requirement.
The requirement is to collect performance telemetry (memory consumption) from individual resources (virtual machines) and configure automated notifications (alerts) based on those metrics.
This establishes whether the focus is on resource-level metrics or global service health.
2
Select the Azure service designed for resource telemetry and alerting.
Azure Monitor is the primary service for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from Azure and on-premises environments, including configuring metric alerts.
Matching the requirements to the correct service capabilities.
