Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies (2020, legacy) — Question 8

You create an Azure virtual machine named VM1 in a resource group named RG1.
You discover that VM1 performs slower than expected.
You need to capture a network trace on VM1.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From the VM1 blade, configure Connection troubleshoot.
• B. From Diagnostic settings for VM1, configure the performance counters to include network counters.
• C. From the VM1 blade, install performance diagnostics and run advanced performance analysis.
• D. From Diagnostic settings for VM1, configure the log level of the diagnostic agent.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because installing performance diagnostics allows for comprehensive analysis of the VM's performance, including network traces. Options A and B are focused on troubleshooting and monitoring but do not provide a direct method for capturing network traces. Option D deals with log levels, which is not relevant to capturing network performance data.
