Start Monitor and Maintain Azure Resources PracticeYou need to be notified whenever the average CPU usage of VM-App01 exceeds 80 percent for 10 minutes. The solution must send an email to the operations team automatically. What should you configure?
Explanation: Option A is correct because Azure Monitor metric alerts can evaluate performance counters like CPU usage over a specified time window (e.g., 10 minutes) and trigger an action group when the threshold (80%) is exceeded. The action group can be configured with an email notification to the operations team, meeting the requirement automatically.
Your company wants to query performance and event data from multiple Azure virtual machines by using Kusto Query Language. The operations team also wants to centralize retention and analysis of this data. What should you deploy?
Explanation: A Log Analytics workspace is the correct choice because it is the central repository in Azure Monitor for collecting telemetry and log data from Azure virtual machines. It supports Kusto Query Language (KQL) for querying performance and event data, and it provides centralized retention, analysis, and alerting capabilities, meeting both requirements.
You need to retain Azure Firewall logs for long-term analysis in a Log Analytics workspace and also archive them in a storage account for compliance. What should you configure on the Azure Firewall resource?
Explanation: Diagnostic settings on the Azure Firewall resource allow you to stream platform logs and metrics to a Log Analytics workspace for long-term analysis and to a storage account for archival and compliance. This is the only configuration that simultaneously supports both destinations for the firewall's log data.
You need to notify the security team whenever anyone deletes a resource group in the subscription. Which alert type should you configure?
Explanation: Option C is correct because an activity log alert monitors subscription-level events recorded in the Azure Activity Log, including resource group deletion operations. When a user deletes a resource group, the 'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/delete' operation is logged, and an activity log alert can be configured to trigger on that specific operation, sending notifications to the security team.
Your operations team needs to run Kusto queries across collected sign-in logs, VM performance counters, and Azure Activity Log data in a central location. What should you deploy?
Explanation: A Log Analytics workspace is the central repository in Azure that ingests and stores diagnostic data from multiple sources, including sign-in logs (Azure AD), VM performance counters (Azure Monitor for VMs), and Azure Activity Logs. It supports Kusto Query Language (KQL) for running complex queries across all collected data, making it the correct choice for this requirement.
