AZ-305 · Question 02 · Domain 1.1: Logging and Monitoring

Fabrikam Inc. operates a hybrid cloud environment with 500 on-premises VMware virtual machines running Windows Server and Linux, and 200 Azure VMs.

The company wants to standardize its monitoring and governance strategy. You need to design a solution that meets the following requirements:

  • Collect guest operating system performance metrics and event logs from ALL virtual machines (both on-premises and in Azure).
  • Apply Azure Policy guest configuration to the on-premises VMs.
  • Ensure the solution uses the most current Microsoft monitoring agents.
  • Minimize the number of outbound firewall ports required for on-premises servers.

Which TWO components must you include in your design? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

A.

Azure Arc-enabled servers

B.

Azure Monitor Agent (AMA)

C.

Log Analytics Gateway

D.

Log Analytics agent (MMA)

E.

Azure Automation Hybrid Runbook Worker

How to approach this question

Identify the service that bridges on-premises servers to Azure Resource Manager (Arc) and the modern agent for telemetry collection (AMA).

Full Answer

To apply Azure Policy to on-premises machines, they must be projected into Azure Resource Manager (ARM). Azure Arc-enabled servers provides this capability. For monitoring, the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) is the modern replacement for the legacy Log Analytics agent (MMA) and is required for collecting guest OS metrics and logs across hybrid environments.

Common mistakes

Selecting the legacy Log Analytics agent instead of the modern Azure Monitor Agent.
