An operations lead wants one screen that shows VM CPU, AKS node health, a log query result and failed request counts, all visible without switching portals. Which option delivers this?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D
Azure dashboards are customisable canvases where you pin tiles from many sources, including Azure Monitor metric charts, Log Analytics query results, Application Insights views, and service health. The tiles refresh and can be shared with a team. Application Insights alone shows only application telemetry, not infrastructure metrics. A wiki holds static content that goes stale, and jumping between portal blades keeps the view fragmented.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Application Insights covers application telemetry only. It cannot show VM CPU or node health, so the single-screen requirement is not met.
- B. Screenshots in a wiki are static and go stale within minutes. The operations lead would still have no live view of current resource state.
- C. Opening individual blades keeps each resource isolated, which prevents the consolidated view that the operations lead asked for.
