A VM suddenly stops responding, and the operations team needs to determine whether the issue is caused by a Microsoft platform problem or is isolated to that specific VM. Which two Azure portal features should be reviewed? Select two.

Azure Advisor

Advisor recommends optimizations, but it does not diagnose platform outages versus resource isolation.

Diagnostic setting

Diagnostic settings export telemetry, but they do not summarize service or resource health.

Action group

Action groups route notifications after alerts, but they do not identify the root health source.

What does this AZ-104 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Service Health — Service Health helps determine whether Microsoft has a regional or service-wide issue affecting the workload. Resource Health helps determine whether the specific VM or its supporting infrastructure is unhealthy. Reviewing both gives the operations team a clean separation between platform incidents and resource-specific problems. That distinction is essential for deciding whether to wait for Microsoft remediation or to troubleshoot the VM itself. The other options either advise, export logs, or notify users, but they do not answer the health question directly. Why others are wrong: Azure Advisor focuses on optimization and best practices, not incident diagnosis. Diagnostic settings only route logs and metrics to destinations for later analysis, so they are not a health indicator. Action groups are notification plumbing, not a troubleshooting tool; they only matter after an alert has already been created.

What should I do if I get this AZ-104 question wrong?

Then try more questions from the same exam bank and focus on understanding why the wrong options are tempting.
