Exam AZ-204 topic 5 question 20 discussion

A and C. Metrics will give you the uptime. Logs will give you the causes of the downtime. wrong B: Alerts are not required wrong D: Web tests has nothing to do with uptime.

"You need to analyze app uptime for each month." how web tests and alerts will help you to analyze previous data?

The correct answers are A (Azure Monitor logs) and D (Application Insights web tests). A. Azure Monitor logs allows querying of detailed availability data and creation of custom reports showing monthly uptime statistics. D. Application Insights web tests continuously monitor app availability across regions and store historical uptime data that can be analyzed monthly. Options B and C don't provide historical uptime analysis capabilities - alerts are for notifications, and metrics focus on real-time monitoring. Note: This is as per Claude.ai

A: Azure Monitor logs D: Application Insights web tests

I choose "Application Insights web test" rather than "Azure Monitor Metrics" because the latter provide pre-aggregate metrics while I need detailed availability data for analysis by myself.

Passed the exam. Got this Q on 07/07. Selected A & C.

Each correct answer presents a *complete* solution. Alerts are primarily designed to notify you in real-time and metrics might not provide the detailed data needed for thorough monthly uptime analysis on their own. Web tests provide detailed reports on uptime. Log Analytics is a tool in the Azure portal to edit and run log queries from data collected by Azure Monitor logs and interactively analyze their results. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/log-analytics-tutorial This article introduces a simple way to calculate and report service-level agreement (SLA) for web tests through a single pane of glass across your Application Insights resources and Azure subscriptions. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/sla-report

Talk about a spread of answers. I've got no idea of what to go with???

According to Copilot CD The options B and A are not the best solutions for analyzing app uptime each month for the following reasons: B. Application Insights alerts: While alerts can notify you when your application is down, they are not designed for analyzing or reporting on historical uptime data. Alerts are more about real-time monitoring and immediate notification when certain conditions are met, such as an outage or performance degradation1. A. Azure Monitor logs: Azure Monitor logs can be used to collect and analyze a wide range of monitoring data, including logs for performance, diagnostics, and usage. However, they are more complex and are typically used for in-depth analysis and troubleshooting rather than a straightforward monthly uptime analysis. Azure Monitor logs would require you to write queries to extract uptime information, which might be more detailed than necessary for just uptime analysis

Azure Monitor logs (A) - because they allow for the collection and complex querying of detailed operational data, including uptime. Azure Monitor metrics (C) - as they provide real-time and historical data analysis capabilities, suitable for assessing uptime over a specified period like a month.

The two solutions that will achieve the goal are: Azure Monitor logs Azure Monitor logs can be used to analyze the uptime of the app. It collects telemetry and other data from your Azure and non-Azure resources, and provides a consolidated view for you to analyze. You can create queries to analyze the data and derive insights about the uptime of your app. Application Insights web tests Application Insights web tests can be used to monitor the availability of your app. It sends requests to your application at regular intervals from points around the world. It alerts you when your app is slow or failing, and provides diagnostic information to help you find and fix the issue. This can be used to analyze the uptime of your app for each month. Please note that while Azure Monitor metrics (C) and Application Insights alerts (B) are useful for monitoring and alerting, they do not provide the necessary data for analyzing app uptime over a period of a month.

For me: C and D. D. Application Insights web tests Application Insights web tests allow you to simulate user traffic to your web app and monitor its performance. You can use Application Insights web tests to measure the uptime of your web app, and you can view this data for each month. C. Azure Monitor metrics Azure Monitor metrics provide a way to collect and analyze data about the performance and health of your Azure resources. You can use Azure Monitor metrics to track the uptime of your Azure App Service web app, and you can view this data for each month.

A. Azure Monitor logs: By querying logs, you can analyze detailed information about app uptime and other metrics over a specified time period, such as a month. C. Azure Monitor metrics: Metrics provide numerical data about your system's operation, including uptime. You can use Azure Monitor metrics to track and analyze the availability and responsiveness of your app over time, including on a monthly basis.

I like A, D why? A: https://www.azure.cn/en-us/support/sla/application-insights/index.html d: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/availability-overview

Definitely not A &B due to following reason Option A, Azure Monitor logs, is not the best solution for analyzing app uptime. While Azure Monitor logs can provide information on app usage and performance, they may not provide the necessary information to calculate the app uptime percentage for each month. Option B, Application Insights alerts, can be useful for notifying you of any issues with the app, but they may not provide the necessary information to calculate the app uptime percentage for each month.

ChatGPT: C. Azure Monitor metrics D. Application Insights web tests Azure Monitor metrics can be used to track the availability of the app by analyzing the uptime percentage. Application Insights web tests can be configured to periodically check the availability of the app and provide uptime data.

A. Azure Monitor logs C. Azure Monitor metrics Azure Monitor logs: Azure Monitor logs provides detailed diagnostic and operational information from Azure resources and allows you to store and analyze the logs. By querying Azure Monitor logs, you can analyze app uptime for each month by searching for uptime and downtime events. Azure Monitor metrics: Azure Monitor metrics allow you to monitor the performance and health of your Azure resources. With Azure Monitor metrics, you can analyze app uptime by looking at the percentage of availability for the app, and you can set up alerts if uptime falls below a certain threshold.
