Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question
Your organization operates an Azure virtual machine scale set that hosts 150 Ubuntu Server 20.04 instances. You must collect guest-level performance counters (CPU, memory, disk, and network) and visualize inter-process dependencies for these VMs in an existing Log Analytics workspace. The solution should require the least ongoing administration and align with Microsoft's recommended Azure Monitor agent strategy. Which action should you perform?
Enable VM Insights for the scale set and choose the existing Log Analytics workspace.
Install the Azure Diagnostics extension on each VM and configure guest-level metric collection to the workspace.
Create a Data Collection Rule that targets the scale set, then manually install the Dependency agent on every instance.
Deploy the legacy Log Analytics (MMA) agent extension to the scale set and enable the Service Map solution.
Enabling VM Insights from the portal (or ARM/CLI) for the scale set is the quickest, lowest-effort method that also follows Microsoft's agent roadmap. The onboarding wizard automatically installs and configures the Azure Monitor agent (AMA) and the Dependency agent, then links them to the selected Log Analytics workspace. Installing only the Azure Diagnostics extension collects some metrics but cannot build dependency maps. Creating a Data Collection Rule plus manual Dependency agent installation meets the requirements but adds unnecessary administrative steps. Deploying the legacy Log Analytics (MMA) agent and Service Map solution is no longer recommended and conflicts with Microsoft's transition to AMA.
