AZ-104 Certification Practice Question #172

Question

You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1.
You deploy a Linux virtual machine named VM1 to Subscription1.
You need to monitor the metrics and the logs of VM1.
What should you use?

Accepted Answer

To collect and monitor guest-level metrics and system logs (such as Syslog) from a Linux virtual machine in Azure, you must install and configure the Linux Diagnostic Extension (LAD). LAD is specifically designed to collect these telemetry data types from supported Linux distributions and send them to Azure Storage or Azure Event Hubs. The alternative `AzurePerformanceDiagnostics` extension is designed specifically for Windows VMs.
