Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question

After installing the Azure Monitor Agent, you need to create data collection rules in Azure Monitor to specify which data to collect from the virtual machines. Data collection rules define the events and performance counters to be gathered and sent to a Log Analytics workspace for analysis. Configuring diagnostic settings on the virtual machines is used for collecting platform metrics and logs to destinations like storage accounts or event hubs, but it does not involve the Azure Monitor Agent. Enabling Boot Diagnostics collects boot logs for troubleshooting startup issues and does not help in collecting Windows event logs or performance counters. Installing the Azure Diagnostics Agent is deprecated; the Azure Monitor Agent is the recommended solution for data collection.
