A company runs a microservices application on AKS with multiple namespaces. The operations team wants to monitor resource usage per namespace and set alerts when CPU usage exceeds 80%. They also want to see application logs from each service. You need to configure monitoring that provides this granularity. What should you do?

Use kubectl top to monitor CPU usage and create alerts manually.

Use Application Insights to monitor container CPU usage per namespace.

Enable Container Insights and use the built-in namespace views and log queries.

Use Azure Monitor for VMs on the AKS nodes to monitor namespace CPU usage.

A company has a legacy application that cannot be modified to add the Application Insights SDK. They need to collect request rates, failure rates, and dependencies for the application. They also want to query this data in a Log Analytics workspace. What should they do?

Use Container Insights to monitor the application if it is containerized.

Enable diagnostic settings on the application host to collect application telemetry.

Use the Azure Monitor Agent to collect application telemetry from the legacy application.

Use Application Insights auto-instrumentation (codeless attach) for the application, if it is hosted in a supported environment like Azure App Service.

Which Azure Monitor solution is used to collect telemetry from Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, including container logs, node metrics, and pod-level performance?

Azure Monitor for Containers (Container Insights)

To enable Azure Monitor for VMs, which two agents must be installed on the virtual machine?

Diagnostics extension and Log Analytics agent

Azure Monitor agent and Application Insights agent

Azure Monitor agent and Azure Security Center agent

Log Analytics agent and Dependency agent

A DevOps team manages an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster. They need to monitor cluster health, node performance, and container logs. They also want to query these logs alongside Azure Activity Logs in a single Log Analytics workspace. What should they configure?

Install the Application Insights SDK into each container and configure it to send telemetry to the Log Analytics workspace.

Enable diagnostic settings on the AKS cluster to stream kube-system logs to a Log Analytics workspace.

Deploy the Azure Monitor Agent to each node and configure data collection rules to collect container logs.

Enable Azure Monitor Container Insights on the AKS cluster and configure it to send data to the Log Analytics workspace.
