Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
The performance diagnostics tool helps you troubleshoot performance issues that can affect a Windows or Linux virtual machine (VM). Supported troubleshooting scenarios include quick checks on known issues and best practices, and complex problems that involve slow VM performance or high usage of CPU, disk space, or memory.
Advanced performance analysis, included in the performance diagnostics tool, includes all checks in the performance analysis, and collects one or more of the traces, as listed in the following sections. Use this scenario to troubleshoot complex issues that require additional traces. Running this scenario for longer periods will increase the overall size of diagnostics output, depending on the size of the VM and the trace options that are selected.

Its C. Azure Performance Diagnostics VM Extension helps collect performance diagnostic data from Windows VMs. The extension performs analysis, and provides a report of findings and recommendations to identify and resolve performance issues on the virtual machine. This extension installs a troubleshooting tool called PerfInsights. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/troubleshooting/performance-diagnostics-vm-extension

Go to VM blade -> "Diagnose and solve problems" -> "troubleshooting Tools" -> "Performance diagnostics". Just Click on it and install. So option "C" is 100% right answer.

yes but for deny or allow traffic, and question is about performance network traffic. Study more before going to exam.

Performance diagnostic is in preview mode and it's been said that preview functionalities wouldn't be asked. So in that regard, its A.

Network traces can be captured by Advanced performance analysis. So the answer is correct. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/troubleshooting/how-to-use-perfInsights#advanced-performance-analysis

to me it's B. With Network Watcher and a StorageAccount you could trace and review the logs in SA.

Connection Troubleshoot provides the capability to check if traffic is allowed or denied based off the inbound and outbound network security rules from a VM with an IPv4 address or service tag. Not what we are looking for. We look for performance issues not for connectivity issues.

I think it should be A. Drill down to VM resource, Diagnostic Settings > Enable guest-OS level logging > From Performance counters, include network (options also include CPU, memory, disk along with app/SQL related logs).
