Topic: Monitor Windows Server by using Azure services
Difficulty: medium
You have a Windows Server that needs to forward its event logs to Azure Monitor for centralized monitoring. Which feature within Azure Monitor Agent should you configure to achieve this?
Answer Options
A
Data Collection Rules
B
Event Log Forwarding
C
Azure Monitor Logs
D
Azure Monitor Metrics
Correct Answer
B: Event Log Forwarding
Explanation
Event Log forwarding in the Azure Monitor Agent allows you to forward event logs from your on-premises servers to Azure Monitor for centralized monitoring. Data Collection Rules are used to define how data is collected from various sources, but they do not specifically mention event logs. Azure Monitor Logs (formerly known as Log Analytics) is used for collecting and analyzing logs, but not for forwarding them. Azure Monitor Metrics is used for performance metrics, not for event logs.
