Exam: az-801
Domain: Monitor and troubleshoot Windows Server environments
Topic: Monitor Windows Server by using Azure services
Difficulty: medium
In a scenario where you need to monitor a Windows Server for performance metrics and log data, which Azure service should you use to collect and forward this data from the server to Azure Monitor for analysis?
Answer Options
A
Azure Monitor Logs
B
Azure Monitor Agent
C
Azure Monitor Metrics
D
Azure Service Health
Correct Answer
B: Azure Monitor Agent
Explanation
The Azure Monitor Agent is designed to collect performance metrics and log data from on-premises servers and forward it to Azure Monitor for analysis. Azure Monitor Logs (formerly known as Log Analytics) is used for collecting and analyzing logs, but not for performance metrics. Azure Monitor Metrics does not collect log data. Azure Service Health provides information about the health of Azure services, not on-premises servers.
