Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question

To be notified when the compute load surpasses a specific threshold, you should create a metric alert based on the processor metrics of the virtual machines. Metric alerts monitor the value of a metric and can trigger actions like sending notifications when the metric crosses a defined threshold. Setting up a log query alert in Azure Monitor Logs is used for alerting based on log data, which is not suitable for real-time metrics like processor utilization. Configuring an autoscale rule adjusts the number of instances to handle load but does not send notifications about the compute load. Enabling diagnostic settings allows for data collection but does not provide alerting capabilities.
