Question 420A cluster experiences intermittent service failures across ten nodes, but each node's event logs are kept only locally and vanish during reimaging. How can administrators make this correction durable through future changes? Monitor event-forwarding heartbeat and ensure log retention and permissions match incident-response requirements. Version troubleshooting queries and review collection schema after Azure Monitor workspace or agent changes. Review alert ownership and notification escalation paths as services and on-call schedules evolve. Review Azure Monitor Agent and DCR coverage after migrating servers between resource groups or subscriptions. ExplanationCorrect Answer A:Monitor event-forwarding heartbeat and ensure log retention and permissions match incident-response requirements. This preventive control maintains the intended protection because consolidated event logs retain evidence across distributed hosts even when a failed machine cannot be accessed later. The initial action remains: Configure centralized event forwarding or collection with appropriate source subscriptions and protected retention. Other Answers B:Structured log queries isolate relevant evidence and trends that are obscured by unfiltered event streams. The stronger recurring control is to monitor event-forwarding heartbeat and ensure log retention and permissions match incident-response requirements. C:Monitoring requires explicit thresholds and delivery targets; a dashboard viewed only manually is not incident notification. The stronger recurring control is to monitor event-forwarding heartbeat and ensure log retention and permissions match incident-response requirements. D:Arc connectivity and agent heartbeat do not automatically mean that every desired metric or log source is collected. A more direct preventive measure is to monitor event-forwarding heartbeat and ensure log retention and permissions match incident-response requirements.
Question 421An Azure Arc-enabled Windows Server sends heartbeat data but not the intended performance counters to an Azure Monitor workspace. What should the administrator change first to resolve the stated issue? Attach an approved action group and validate its notification channel and escalation against the alert rule. Create and assign the correct Azure Monitor data collection rule for the required performance counters and destination. Create a Performance Monitor Data Collector Set to record relevant disk, CPU, memory and SMB counters during the recurring slowdown. Create a VM Insights workbook without assigning a data collection rule for the missing Windows Server performance counters. ExplanationCorrect Answer B:Create and assign the correct Azure Monitor data collection rule for the required performance counters and destination. This resolves the observed failure because arc connectivity and agent heartbeat do not automatically mean that every desired metric or log source is collected. A suitable acceptance check is: Query the selected performance-counter table after a known test load and check the DCR resource assignment. Other Answers A:An Azure Monitor alert condition and its downstream notification or automation action are separate configuration elements. The required change instead is to create and assign the correct Azure Monitor data collection rule for the required performance counters and destination. C:Time-series performance counters capture historical load patterns that an after-the-fact interactive snapshot cannot reconstruct. A more relevant action is to create and assign the correct Azure Monitor data collection rule for the required performance counters and destination. D:Create a VM Insights workbook without assigning a data collection rule for the missing Windows Server performance counters. A workbook displays collected telemetry; it cannot create the missing data itself. This Arc server requires a relevant Azure Monitor data collection rule and association.

What should be added to the permanent maintenance checklist? Audit alert action-group assignments and recipient validity after team changes or subscription moves. Review Azure Monitor Agent and DCR coverage after migrating servers between resource groups or subscriptions. Keep baseline performance dashboards and alert thresholds aligned to expected workload seasonality. Set a repeatable Data Collector Set schedule and retain baseline performance counters for critical servers. ExplanationCorrect Answer B:Review Azure Monitor Agent and DCR coverage after migrating servers between resource groups or subscriptions.
