Connection monitor resource: A region-specific Azure resource. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/network-watcher/connection-monitor-create-using-portal#before-you-begin

Cleared Exam today 26 Feb, This question was there in exam.

One is enough

B is correct 2 connection monitors for 2 regions

As much as I hate to go against the grain, I think the answer used to be 2 however with cross-region monitoring now enabled, I believe you would only need 1

You need 1 C monitor to check connectivity between west US and op-prem. Another to check between central US and on-prem So 2.

By deploying one Connection Monitor from any VM, you can effectively monitor the connectivity for all VMs across the peered virtual networks to the on-premises network. The question is asking for a minimum number.

The correct answer is A. 1. Azure’s Connection Monitor in Network Watcher provides unified, end-to-end connection monitoring1. It supports hybrid and Azure cloud deployments, and it can monitor communication between a virtual machine (VM) or virtual machine scale set and another endpoint. In this scenario, you have an on-premises network and three virtual networks (VNET1, VNET2, and VNET3) in Azure that are peered and connected to the on-premises network. You need to monitor the connectivity between these virtual machines and the on-premises network. Since all the virtual networks are peered and connected to the on-premises network, you can use a single connection monitor to monitor the connectivity between the virtual machines and the on-premises network.

The answer is B. 2 minimum connection monitors. The reason is you have on-premises network and Azure(Cloud) network. So, you need 2. This is nothing to do with the location: West US and Central US. This is a trap! Someone people said it's to do with these 2 locations. But that is the wrong explanation. If you only have 1 kind of network(Azure Cloud/on-premises, then you need minimum 1 connection monitor.

Azure's Connection Monitor is a feature within Network Watcher that enables you to monitor communication at a regular interval and visualize network performance parameters. Since the virtual networks (VNET1, VNET2, and VNET3) are peered and connected to the on-premises network, the communication between any virtual machine within these VNets and the on-premises network can be seen as part of a single connected network. Given that the VNets are peered, the minimum number of connection monitors you would need to deploy to monitor connectivity from all virtual machines in your Azure subscription to the on-premises network would be: A. 1 One connection monitor can track the connectivity of multiple virtual machines to a single on-premises endpoint as long as they are within peered VNets and there are no restrictions preventing communication between these networks. You can configure the connection monitor with all the virtual machines as sources and the on-premises network as the destination.

B is right

This was on my exam. I think the suggested answer to the question is correct.

As for now - correct response is A - 1. When comes to MS Azure Docs, it barely mention a case like this. But it says that is Cross-Region and Cross-Workspace. The line which says "A region-specific Azure resource" is for the service itself where is gonna to deploy, store logs, etc., not for the regions which it can monitor.

So what is the answer A or B? :)

this question came in the exam 25/9/2023

Its B Region: Select a region for your connection monitor. You can select only the source VMs that are created in this region. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/network-watcher/connection-monitor-create-using-portal#before-you-begin

Connection monitor resource: A region-specific Azure resource. All the following entities are properties of a connection monitor resource. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/network-watcher/connection-monitor-create-using-portal
