   A large enterprise is required to send all Azure activity logs and VM guest OS logs to a third-party SIEM for real-time security monitoring. The SIEM is hosted on-premises and can only receive data via HTTPS. The security team also requires a 5-year archive of all logs for compliance. What is the most appropriate architecture?

   • AConfigure Azure Diagnostics to send logs directly to the on-premises SIEM via HTTPS, and use a separate diagnostic setting to archive to storage.
   • BUse Azure Monitor's built-in SIEM connector to directly forward logs to the on-premises SIEM over HTTPS.
   • CStream all logs to Azure Event Hubs, and use a custom consumer application to forward them to the on-premises SIEM via HTTPS. Simultaneously, export the same logs to Azure Storage for the 5-year archive.
   • DSend all logs to a Log Analytics workspace, and use the Log Analytics export API to push data to the SIEM on a scheduled basis.

   A team manages a fleet of Windows virtual machines (VMs) in Azure. They need to collect performance counters (such as CPU and memory) from the VMs and send alerts when CPU usage exceeds a threshold. They also want to keep the VM-level metrics in Azure Monitor Metrics for charting. What should they configure?

   • ACreate a diagnostic setting on each VM to stream the VM boot diagnostics to a Log Analytics workspace.
   • BEnable Azure Diagnostics extension with the Performance counter sink set to Azure Monitor Metrics.
   • CEnable the Azure Monitor Agent on the VMs and configure data collection rules to collect performance counters into a Log Analytics workspace.
   • DUse the Azure Monitor Agent to collect performance counters directly into Azure Monitor Metrics.
