A company wants to be notified when the average CPU usage of a virtual machine scale set exceeds 80% for 10 minutes. They also want to see the historical CPU usage in a chart. What should they configure?

Create a log alert rule that queries the 'InsightsMetrics' table for CPU usage.

Create a metric alert rule on the 'Percentage CPU' metric for the scale set with a condition of greater than 80% for 10 minutes.

Configure an action group to send an email when the scale set is created.

Use Azure Monitor workbooks to create an alert based on a visualization.

A company has a mission-critical web application. They need to detect a gradual increase in response time that could indicate a performance degradation. They also want to be alerted only when the degradation is sustained, not on temporary spikes. What should they configure?

Create a custom workbook that shows response time trends and manually review it daily.

Create a log alert that queries the 'requests' table for any response time greater than 3 seconds.

Use Application Insights Smart Detection to automatically detect anomalies in response time.

Create a metric alert on the 'Server response time' metric with a dynamic threshold and a 15-minute evaluation frequency.

A company needs to stream application logs to multiple consumers: a real-time analytics platform, a long-term storage archive, and a log management system. They want to avoid multiple data collection pipelines. What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

Send logs to a storage account and have each consumer poll the storage account for new data.

Send logs to an Azure Event Hubs namespace and have each consumer read from its own consumer group.

Send logs to a Log Analytics workspace and use export to send to the other systems.

Send logs to a Service Bus queue and have each consumer compete for messages.
