Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question

To receive email notifications when processor utilization exceeds a certain threshold, you should create an alert rule in Azure Monitor that tracks the relevant performance metric. By configuring an action group within this alert rule, you can specify that an email is sent to the operations team when the condition is met. This solution uses Azure's built-in monitoring capabilities without the need for additional agents or custom scripting.

Installing the Azure Monitor Agent and configuring a Log Analytics workspace is unnecessary for monitoring standard performance metrics like processor usage since these metrics are available by default. Configuring Azure Advisor does not provide real-time alerting based on performance thresholds; it offers recommendations for optimizing Azure resources. Developing a custom script is an overly complex solution and not the most efficient method for real-time alerting.
