Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Service Health

To track application-level performance metrics, such as response times and HTTP server errors, for resources running in Azure, you must configure alerts in Azure Service Health.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is false. Azure Service Health is not used to monitor application-level performance metrics such as response times and HTTP errors; instead, Azure Monitor and Application Insights should be used for this purpose.
The statement is false because monitoring application performance, response times, and HTTP errors requires Azure Monitor and Application Insights. Azure Service Health focuses strictly on platform-level service issues, planned maintenance, and health advisories that affect Azure services and subscriptions.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirement to track application-level performance metrics (response times and HTTP errors) in Azure.
Determine that these metrics represent resource-level and application-level performance telemetry.
Understanding the telemetry type helps map it to the correct monitoring service.
2
Differentiate between the use cases of Azure Service Health and Azure Monitor.
Azure Service Health provides status reports on the cloud infrastructure itself (outages, planned maintenance). Azure Monitor collects, analyzes, and alerts on performance data and logs from applications and resources.
This comparison identifies which service is intended for tracking the specified performance metrics.
