A team is developing a microservices application on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). They want to monitor each service's request rates, failures, and dependencies, and they want to query this telemetry alongside cluster metrics in a single Log Analytics workspace. What should they do?

Configure diagnostic settings on the AKS cluster to send application telemetry to the Log Analytics workspace.

Use Azure Monitor Agent to collect application logs from each pod and send them to the Log Analytics workspace.

Enable Container Insights on the AKS cluster, which automatically instruments all microservices with Application Insights.

Instrument each microservice with the Application Insights SDK and configure the connection string to an Application Insights resource linked to the Log Analytics workspace.

A software company has a Python web app running on Azure App Service. The team wants to monitor custom business events and trace user journeys. They also want to query these events in Azure Monitor Logs. What should you do?

Use Azure Monitor for VMs on the App Service plan to monitor application events.

Add the Application Insights SDK to the app and use TrackEvent to send custom events.

Enable Application Insights auto-instrumentation and rely on default telemetry.

Use Azure Monitor Logs to collect application logs and parse them for events.

A retail company has a Node.js web application hosted on Azure App Service. The development team wants to monitor user sessions, page views, and server exceptions, and they want to correlate these with deployment events from Azure Pipelines. You need to set up telemetry collection with the least custom code. What should you do?

Add the Application Insights SDK to the Node.js app and manually track each page view and exception.

Use Azure Monitor Logs to collect App Service logs and create custom queries for user sessions.

Configure Azure Monitor for VMs on the App Service plan and view the metrics in the portal.

Enable Application Insights for the App Service and use the built-in availability and performance monitoring.

A manufacturing company has a mix of Azure VMs and on-premises servers. The IT team wants to centralize logs from all servers in Azure Monitor Logs and use KQL to query them. They also want to monitor VM performance. What should you do?

Use Azure Monitor for VMs on all servers, including on-premises.

Install the Azure Monitor agent on all servers and enable Azure Monitor for VMs on the Azure VMs.

Use Application Insights to collect logs from all servers.

Create a separate Log Analytics workspace for each server to avoid data mixing.
