You are analyzing the performance of an Azure VM. You notice that the 'Percentage CPU' metric shows an average of 80% over the last hour, but the VM's performance seems sluggish. You need to determine if the guest OS is experiencing memory pressure. What should you do?

Use the 'Metrics' blade and select the 'Available Memory Bytes' metric from the VM's host metrics.

Create a log alert rule that queries the AzureActivity table for memory-related events.

Enable VM Insights and view the 'Memory' performance chart in the VM's Insights blade.

Use Azure Network Watcher's Connection Monitor to check if the VM is reachable.

You are viewing a metric chart in Azure Monitor for a storage account. The chart shows a line that rises sharply and then falls. What does the line represent?

The total number of requests over time

The configuration settings of the storage account

The access keys used for authentication

The list of all error codes returned

You need to monitor the availability of an Azure Storage account by checking the 'Availability' metric. You want to be alerted if the average availability drops below 99.9% over a 5-minute period. What should you configure?

Enable diagnostic settings on the storage account to send metrics to Log Analytics, then create a log alert on the Availability table.

Use Azure Network Watcher's Connection Monitor to monitor the storage account's endpoint availability.

Create a log alert rule that queries the storage account's logs for failed requests and triggers when the count exceeds a threshold.

Create a metric alert rule on the storage account with a condition for 'Availability' less than 99.9% and an action group that sends an email.
