AZ-204 Certification Practice Question #182

Question

You develop an application. You plan to host the application on a set of virtual machines (VMs) in Azure.
You need to configure Azure Monitor to collect logs from the application.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Select and Place:

Accepted Answer

The question asks to "collect logs from the application" on VMs. This requires both infrastructure (VMInsights) and application telemetry (Application Insights). The sequence: (1) Create a Log Analytics workspace as the centralized data sink. (2) Create an Application Insights resource (workspace-based, linked to the Log Analytics workspace) for application-level telemetry. (3) Add VMInsights solution to the workspace to enable VM performance monitoring. (4) Install the Azure Monitor agent on each VM to actually ship logs. While some community members debate whether App Insights is needed (it targets app-level logs, not just VM metrics), the question says "collect logs from the application" which confirms App Insights is appropriate. Confidence is 82% due to the debate around step 2.
