correct

B. Azure Log Analytics agent: Collects data about the guest operating system, including performance counters, event logs, and custom log files. Sends the data to Azure Monitor Logs or Azure Log Analytics for analysis. It is a core requirement for collecting detailed metrics and logs from Azure virtual machines. D. Dependency agent: Works in conjunction with the Azure Monitor Log Analytics agent. Provides deep insights into the processes running on the virtual machine. Enables the mapping of dependencies between processes, services, and servers in the guest operating system.

Answer BD is correct but an updated version should consider "Azure Monitor Agent" instead of "Azure Log Analytics agent", because documentation says that "The Log Analytics agent is on a deprecation path and won't be supported after August 31, 2024. Any new data centers brought online after January 1 2024 will not support the Log Analytics agent. If you use the Log Analytics agent to ingest data to Azure Monitor, migrate to the new Azure Monitor agent prior to that date."

BD is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/log-analytics-agent#primary-scenarios Use the Log Analytics agent if you need to: - Collect logs and performance data from Azure virtual machines or hybrid machines hosted outside of Azure. - Use VM insights, which allows you to monitor your machines at scale and monitor their processes and dependencies on other resources and external processes. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/vm/vminsights-dependency-agent-maintenance The Dependency Agent collects data about processes running on the virtual machine and external process dependencies.

Correct

The Log Analytics Agent is now replaced by the Azure Monitor Agent. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/agents-overview.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/agents-overview: Log Analytics agent is one of the agents for Windows "On hybrid machines, use Azure Arc-enabled servers to deploy the Azure Monitor agent, Log Analytics, and Azure Monitor Dependency VM extensions" B and D

Dependency agent: processes running in the system Azure Log Analytic agent: collect the information and send to the Azure Monitor.
