Suggested Answer:
Box 1: VM1 only -
A virtual machine may have an association to multiple DCRs, and a DCR may have multiple virtual machines associated to it.
In the Resources tab, add the resources (virtual machines, virtual machine scale sets, Arc for servers) that should have the Data Collection Rule applied.

Box 2: Workspace1 only -
On the Destination tab, add one or more destinations for the data source. You can select multiple destinations of same of different types, for instance multiple Log
Analytics workspaces (i.e. "multi-homing").
Note: The Data Collection Rules (or DCR) improve on a few key areas of data collection from VMs including like better control and scoping of data collection (e.g. collect from a subset of VMs for a single workspace), collect once and send to both Log Analytics and Azure Monitor Metrics, send to multiple workspaces (multi- homing for Linux), improved Windows event filtering, and improved extension management.

In ref doc. Source from Azure Monitor Agent(VM)、REST API and Azure Resource. Confused about other items. But your LAB test has only VM.

I understand, it must be LOG-related REST API and Azure resources

Given answer is correct. Data collection rules can be used to collect data from VM using Azure Monitor Agent. The data collected can be sent to a Log Analytics Workspace for analysis and monitoring.

1. VM1 only 2. Workspace1 and Storage 1 only My source for 2 is: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/azure-monitor-agent-send-data-to-event-hubs-and-storage?tabs=windows%2Cwindows-1 … but this is outside my expertise so please let me know why that doesn't apply to this case if I am wrong. In general, Azure Monitor can send to Storage for retention in case of later audit/review needs. I think the linked doc, above, sayd this is true for DCR, specifically, too.

Yes that seems to be a new preview feature. I would say for Q2: Workspace1 and Storage 1 only.

When you create the rule in the azure portal you get the following info message: Pick a set of machines to collect data from. The Azure Monitor Agent will be automatically installed on virtual machines, scale sets, and Arc-enabled servers.

1. VM1 only 2. Workspace1 only https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/data-collection-rule-structure#datasources https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/data-collection-rule-structure#destinations This section contains a declaration of all the destinations where the data will be sent. Only Log Analytics is currently supported as a destination. Each Log Analytics destination will require the full Workspace Resource ID, as well as a friendly name that will be used elsewhere in the DCR to refer to this workspace.

Source needs to be either a VM or "something" that can send its logs to a REST API. A storage account or SQL database will not do that (AFAIK) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/data-collection-rule-overview Target needs to be a LA Workspace indeed, so that's an easy choice.
