You have an Azure SQL managed instance named SQLMI1 that hosts 10 databases.
You need to implement alerts by using Azure Monitor. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Minimize costs.
Aggregate Intelligent Insights telemetry from each database.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: A
Reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/metrics-diagnostic-telemetry-logging-streaming- export-configure?tabs=azure-portal#configure-the-streaming-export-of-diagnostic-telemetry Basic Concept: This question tests Azure monitoring and performance management, including which metric, log destination, or alerting behavior fits the operational requirement.
Why A is Correct: Log Analytics stores logs and metrics in a queryable workspace and supports workbooks, dashboards, alerting, and cross-resource analysis. This fits the case because the requested outcome is: You need to implement alerts by using Azure Monitor. The selected feature addresses that outcome directly rather than relying on a workaround.
Why B is Wrong: From the Diagnostic settings of each database, select Stream to an event hub. is related to operational monitoring or tuning, but it must match the exact signal needed: query history, resource utilization, wait/blocking detail, or automatic remediation. It does not expose the required metric, query history, wait/blocking signal, or tuning mechanism; using it would not give the administrator the evidence requested.
Why C is Wrong: Log Analytics stores logs and metrics in a queryable workspace and supports workbooks, dashboards, alerting, and cross-resource analysis. It is useful in other troubleshooting paths, but this scenario requires a more specific monitoring or optimization feature.
Why D is Wrong: From the Diagnostic settings of SQLMI1. select Stream to an event hub. is related to operational monitoring or tuning, but it must match the exact signal needed: query history, resource utilization, wait/blocking detail, or automatic remediation. It would produce a different operational signal than the one needed to investigate, alert, or tune the workload in this question.
