Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services — Question 56

You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains a virtual machine named Server1 that runs Windows Server.

You create a new Log Analytics workspace named Workspace1.

You need to collect performance metrics for Server1 by using Azure Monitor.

What should you do next?

Answer options

• A. Regenerate the secondary key.
• B. Install the Azure Connected Machine agent.
• C. Create a data collection rule (DCR).
• D. Deploy and configure Windows Event Forwarding.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as creating a data collection rule (DCR) is essential for defining how data is collected from resources like Server1. Option A is irrelevant as regenerating the secondary key does not relate to performance metrics collection. Option B is not necessary since Server1 is already a virtual machine in Azure, and it typically does not require the Azure Connected Machine agent for metrics collection. Option D pertains to event forwarding, which is unrelated to the performance metrics being gathered through Azure Monitor.
