Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

A company runs critical workloads on 200 Linux and Windows virtual machines that span three Azure subscriptions. Operations must be alerted automatically if any VM's CPU utilization remains above 80 percent for longer than one minute. Administrators also need to review CPU performance trends for up to 90 days while keeping monitoring costs to a minimum. Which Azure Monitor-based solution should you recommend?

  • Install the Application Insights agent on each VM and rely on smart detection rules to identify sustained CPU spikes.

  • Use the automatically collected Percentage CPU platform metric stored in the Azure Monitor metrics store, and configure a static metric alert on each VM that triggers when the average value exceeds 80 percent for one minute.

  • Enable Azure Monitor for VMs (VM Insights) with Change Analysis and create log-based alert rules on the InsightsMetrics table.

  • Create a single Log Analytics workspace, install the Azure Monitor agent on all VMs, collect the Processor% Processor Time counter every minute, and configure log alert rules.
