Your organization has a hybrid environment with on-premises servers and Azure VMs. The operations team uses Azure DevOps for deployments, and they want a single pane of glass for monitoring all resources, including on-premises servers. They also want to use Azure Monitor Logs to query data from all sources. You need to design a monitoring solution that minimizes administrative overhead while meeting these requirements. What should you do?

Use Azure Monitor for VMs only for Azure VMs and rely on System Center Operations Manager for on-premises servers.

Use Application Insights to monitor on-premises servers by installing the SDK on each server.

Create separate Log Analytics workspaces for on-premises and Azure resources to maintain isolation.

Deploy the Azure Monitor agent to on-premises servers and Azure VMs, and send data to a single Log Analytics workspace.

A company runs a legacy Windows Server application on Azure VMs. They need to collect guest OS performance counters, event logs, and custom application logs, and send them to a central Log Analytics workspace. They also want to use Azure Monitor VM Insights to visualize the health of the VMs. What should they configure?

Deploy the Azure Monitor Agent to a central VM and configure it to forward logs from all other VMs via the network.

Install the Azure Monitor Agent on each VM and create data collection rules (DCRs) to specify performance counters, event logs, and custom logs.

Enable VM Insights from the Azure portal, which automatically installs the Log Analytics agent and configures all required data collection.

Use the legacy Log Analytics agent and configure the workspace's 'Windows Event Log' and 'Performance Counters' settings.

Your organization uses Azure DevOps for CI/CD and has a critical ASP.NET Core web app in production. The operations team wants a single dashboard that combines pipeline health, application performance metrics, and log-based alerts. You need to configure monitoring with minimal custom code. What should you do?

Create an Azure Monitor workbook that pulls data from Azure DevOps Analytics, Application Insights, and Log Analytics workspaces.

Configure Application Insights to send data to Azure DevOps and use the built-in pipeline reports.

Enable Azure Monitor for VMs on the app servers and view the built-in performance charts.

Use Azure Monitor's default 'Insights' blade to view all resources in one place.

A DevOps team wants to create a single pane of glass for monitoring their Azure resources, applications, and CI/CD pipelines. They have a requirement to use a single Log Analytics workspace for all data. They also want to minimize the number of tools they need to manage. What should they do?

Use Azure Service Health to monitor all resources and pipelines.

Configure diagnostic settings for all Azure resources to send logs to the Log Analytics workspace, instrument applications with Application Insights, and stream Azure DevOps audit logs to the same workspace.

Use separate workspaces for infrastructure logs, application telemetry, and pipeline logs, and use Azure Monitor Workbooks to combine them.

Use Application Insights for all monitoring, including infrastructure and pipelines.
