Contoso’s IT engineering team explored how Azure services could modernize the current operational model through automation and virtualization.
The IT staff understands the process of collecting event log data from on-premises Windows servers, but concerns remain about how to replicate this process with virtualized workloads in Azure IaaS virtual machines.

You were tasked with conducting further research on consolidating and analyzing event log data from Windows Server IaaS VMs and configuring a task in Azure when a specific event is written to an event log on a Windows Server IaaS VM.

In this module, you learned how to:

• Implement Azure Monitor for IaaS virtual machines in Azure
• Implement Azure Monitor in on-premises environments
• Use dependency maps

Now, you and Contoso’s IT team can effectively use Azure Monitor to optimize the administration of your existing deployments and forecast capacity needs for future deployments.
