Question

You have an Azure subscription that is linked to a Microsoft Entra tenant. The tenant contains the devices shown in the following table.

Name Platform Join type
Device1 Windows 11 Microsoft Entra registered
Device2 Windows 10 Microsoft Entra joined
Device2 Android Microsoft Entra registered

You install the Azure Monitor Agent on all supported devices.

You create a monitored object (MO) and associate the MO to a data collection rule (DCR) named DCR1.

You configure DCR1 as shown in the following exhibit.

You configure DCR1 as shown in the following exhibit.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

  • Azure Monitor collects CPU performance data from Device1.
  • Azure Monitor collects memory performance data from Device2.
  • Azure Monitor collects CPU performance data from Device3.

Answer

Azure Monitor collects CPU performance data from Device1: No

Azure Monitor collects memory performance data from Device2: Yes

Azure Monitor collects CPU performance data from Device3: No

Explanation

The image shows an Azure Monitor data collection rule (DCR) configuration for performance counters. Based on this configuration and the given device information, let’s analyze each statement:

1. Azure Monitor collects CPU performance data from Device1: No

Explanation: Device1 is Windows 11 and Microsoft Entra registered. While the Azure Monitor Agent can be installed on Windows devices, Microsoft Entra registered devices typically don’t support the full range of management features. The DCR is set to collect CPU data, but it’s unlikely to work on a registered device.

2. Azure Monitor collects memory performance data from Device2: Yes

Explanation: Device2 is Windows 10 and Microsoft Entra joined. Microsoft Entra joined devices fully support management features like Azure Monitor. The DCR is configured to collect memory data with a 60-second sample rate, so it will collect this data from Device2.

3. Azure Monitor collects CPU performance data from Device3: No

Device3 is an Android device that is Microsoft Entra registered. The Azure Monitor Agent and performance counter collection are not supported on Android devices. Therefore, Azure Monitor cannot collect CPU performance data from Device3.

In summary, only the Microsoft Entra joined Windows device (Device2) will have its configured performance metrics collected by Azure Monitor according to the DCR settings shown in the image.
