Difficulty: MediumAzure Monitor and Log Analytics

An organization runs several virtual machines in Azure to host an internal payroll application. The system administrator wants to collect and analyze performance metrics, such as CPU and memory utilization, specifically from these virtual machines to optimize performance. Which service should the administrator configure to achieve this?

  1. Azure MonitorAnswer
  2. B
    Azure Service Health
  3. C
    Azure Policy
  4. D
    Azure Arc

Answer

Azure Monitor
Azure Monitor is the correct service because it is designed to collect, analyze, and act on telemetry data from Azure resources, which includes virtual machine performance metrics like CPU and memory utilization.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary goal of the administrator
The goal is to collect and analyze performance telemetry (such as CPU and memory utilization) of specific virtual machines hosted in Azure.
This establishes the scope of monitoring needed, which is resource-level performance monitoring.
2
Compare the capabilities of the available Azure management tools
Azure Monitor is designed to collect performance metrics from Azure resources. Azure Service Health is for global Azure platform outages. Azure Policy is for resource compliance governance. Azure Arc is for managing non-Azure resources using Azure tools.
By understanding the distinct purpose of each tool, we determine that Azure Monitor is the correct fit.

Key Concept

Azure Monitor collects and analyzes performance metrics and telemetry data from individual Azure resources, distinguishing it from health trackers and governance tools.
