Difficulty: EasyAzure Monitor and Log Analytics

An IT administrator needs to monitor the performance metrics of a specific Azure virtual machine, such as disk write operations per second, to ensure it meets workload demands. Which Azure service should the administrator use to collect and analyze these resource-specific metrics?

  1. A
    Azure Service Health
  2. B
    Azure Policy
  3. Azure MonitorAnswer
  4. D
    Azure Resource Locks

Answer

Azure Monitor
Azure Monitor is the native Azure service designed to collect, analyze, and act on telemetry data from your cloud and on-premises environments. It collects numeric performance metrics, such as disk write operations per second, CPU utilization, and memory usage from resources like Azure Virtual Machines.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the goal of the IT administrator.
The goal is to monitor resource-specific performance metrics (disk write operations per second) of a specific Azure virtual machine.
Understanding the monitoring scope (resource-specific performance vs. platform-wide status) helps select the correct service.
2
Compare the capabilities of Azure Monitor and the alternative services.
Azure Monitor collects telemetry such as metrics and logs from specific resources, while Azure Service Health provides status updates on the Azure platform itself.
This highlights why Azure Monitor is correct and why Azure Service Health is a common distractor.

Key Concept

Azure Monitor is used for collecting and analyzing performance telemetry from specific Azure resources.
