Exam AZ-720 topic 5 question 55 discussion

To monitor an Azure Standard Load Balancer for a potential outbound port exhaustion issue, you would want to track the "Used SNAT ports". SNAT (Source Network Address Translation) ports are used for outbound connections. If these ports are being exhausted, it means your VM might be having trouble making new outbound connections. In Azure Monitor, you can create a graph to visually represent these metrics over time. This can help you identify trends or spikes that could indicate a problem. Here's how you might set it up: 1.In the Azure Monitor, create a new graph. 2.For the metric namespace, select "Network". 3.For the metric, select "Used SNAT ports". This represents the number of SNAT ports currently in use. Similarly, tracking the "Allocated SNAT ports" can give you information about how many SNAT ports have been allocated by the Load Balancer to your VM or VMSS. So in the answer area, you would want to select: For the first dropdown: "Used SNAT ports" For the second dropdown: "Allocated SNAT ports"
