💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the resource group name instead of the workspace name.

Using unrelated resource names like VM or storage account.

The workspace name is required to create a Log Analytics workspace. Here, myWorkspace is the correct name.

Complete the code to enable Azure Monitor metrics for a virtual machine.

Azure

az monitor metrics alert create --name HighCPUAlert --resource-group myResourceGroup --scopes [1] --condition "avg Percentage CPU > 80" --window-size 5m --evaluation-frequency 1m

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using only the VM name instead of the full resource ID.

Using the resource group name as the scope.

The --scopes parameter requires the full resource ID of the virtual machine to monitor its metrics.

Fix the error in the command to create an alert rule for CPU usage.

Azure

az monitor metrics alert create --name CPUAlert --resource-group myResourceGroup --scopes [1] --condition "avg Percentage CPU > 90" --window-size 5m --evaluation-frequency 1m

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using only the VM name as scope.

Using a network interface resource ID instead of the VM.

The scope must be the full resource ID of the virtual machine, not just the VM name or resource group.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a query that returns CPU usage over the last hour.

Azure

Perf | where TimeGenerated > ago([1]) | where CounterName == [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A1h

B"\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time"

C1d

D"\Memory\Available MBytes"

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 1 day instead of 1 hour for the time filter.

Using memory counters instead of CPU counters.

The query filters performance data from the last 1 hour and selects the CPU usage counter.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create an alert rule that triggers when disk space is low.

Azure

az monitor metrics alert create --name DiskSpaceAlert --resource-group myResourceGroup --scopes [1] --condition "avg [2] [3] 10" --window-size 10m --evaluation-frequency 5m

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A/subscriptions/xxxx/resourceGroups/myResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/myVM

B"LogicalDisk % Free Space"

C<

D"LogicalDisk Free Space"

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect metric names.

Using > instead of < for the condition.

Using resource group name instead of full resource ID.

The alert monitors the average free disk space percentage and triggers if it falls below 10%.
