Developers in Asia report that they experience significant delays when they execute the
services.
You need to verify application performance from different locations.

    CORRECT IS “C”

    Incorrect:
    Not B: Health Endpoint Monitoring Pattern is used for checking the health of the program:
    Implement functional checks within an application that external tools can access through exposed endpoints at regular intervals. This pattern can help to verify that applications and services are performing correctly.

    The correct answer is B.

    Endpoint monitoring configures web tests from geo-distributed locations that test response time and uptime of web URLs. The test performs an HTTP get operation on the web URL to determine the response time and uptime from each location. Each configured location runs a test every five minutes.

    Uptime is monitored using HTTP response codes, and response time is measured in milliseconds. Uptime is considered 100% when the response time is less than 30 seconds and the HTTP status code is lower than 400. Uptime is 0% when the response time is greater than 30 seconds or the HTTP status code is greater than 400.

    After you configure endpoint monitoring, you can drill down into the individual endpoints to view details response time and uptime status over the monitoring interval from each of the test locations. You can also set up an alert rule when the endpoint takes too long to respond, for example.

      You should read the replies of others before commenting. The correct answer is B. Answer D can never be correct, as only developers from one specific geographical location are reporting delays. For answer D to possibly be correct, users from all over the world would have to be reporting delays.

  3. abovethelimit says:

    E is the correct answer. I just tested it on my Azure environment. Yes, you would need to go into Configure and setup endpoint monitoring but the metric for this testing is Average Response Time which gives you the pings from a certain geographical location. Without this metric there is no way end point monitoring is useless to find out why there is a delay in Asia.

    If Response Time isnt an option then Endpoint is the answer, since that option is there and based on my testing, I definitely will go for E – Average Response Time as the correct answer.

  4. Steven Chong says:

    Which type of monitoring should you configure?

    Endpoint
    – This is a type of monitoring methods

    Average Response Time
    – The result that you need to cater !

    So the correct answer is B

  5. Marc says:

    Could be either B or E. I think B, E (Average Response Time) is a feature of B (Endpoint Monitoring). Question asks, what type of monitoring, select B which covers response time as a feature.

  6. challenge says:

    B is correct you monitor VMs in a Cloud Service – of which you can monitor up to TWO endpoints from up to THREE geo-graphic locations. The question clearly references different locations.

  9. Chris says:

    Response time is a metric, not a type of monitoring.
    “Health EndPoint Monitoring” isn’t the answer because its not even an answer here, but “Endpoint” is. (So stop referencing the PDF justification. Its not even wrong.)
    The answer is B.

    If they change the question to “What metric should you configure for endpoint monitoring?”, then the answer will be E.

  10. Bruno D'Amico says:

    The question states “you need to verify application performance”

    Endpoint Monitoring monitors your server with HTTP Get requests, thats good but we already know that there is an issue for Asia developers.

    https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-monitor/#webendpointstatus

    Average Response Time is the actual performance test that will give u a lead as to why the website is slow for Asia.

    https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-web-monitor-performance/

    Answer is E

  11. recall says:

    The question clearly asks “Which type of monitoring should you configure?”. “Average Response Time” is not a type of MONITORING. It is a METRIC on which you create rules and alerts when a certain threshold is reached. The type of MONITORING required for this (on which you may or may not configure the Average Repsonse Time METRIC) is Endpoint. Answer B.

    A. BS
    B. Correct
    C. BS
    D. Metric type not monitoring type
    E. Metric type not monitoring type

    I would say endpoints as per exam guide. Correct me if wrong

    ***Endpoint monitoring is a feature that monitors your cloud service from external geo-dis-
    tributed locations. If endpoint monitoring is configured, Azure will invoke HTTP requests
    to specified endpoints of your cloud service from up to three locations around the world. If
    the response returns an HTTP 200 (OK) and the response is received within 30 seconds, the
    endpoint is considered healthy. If the endpoint response is an HTTP 400 or higher, or the
    response takes more than 30 seconds, the endpoint is considered unhealthy.
    Endpoint monitoring gives you the capability to monitor your cloud service from locations
    closest to your customers or from locations that are strategic to the business.***
