What's changed: Created AZ-140 Chapter 5, completing the textbook (Domain 4: monitoring (Azure Monitor + Log Analytics, AVD Insights workbooks, capacity/performance optimization, autoscaling scaling plans, active-session monitoring); updates/backup/DR (drain + recreate from a new image version, Azure Update Manager, Azure Backup point-in-time restore of FSLogix profiles/personal desktops/images, multi-region DR, pooled stateless)).
5.1Monitoring and autoscaling
Understand AVD log collection/analysis, Azure Monitor, customizing AVD Insights workbooks, optimizing capacity/performance, host pool autoscaling, and monitoring active sessions and application groups.
In operations, you surface environment health and scale capacity with demand to balance cost and experience. Visibility and automation are the pillars.
5.1.1Azure Monitor and AVD Insights
Aggregate session-host and service logs/metrics into a Log Analytics workspace and analyze/alert with Azure Monitor. AVD Insights (a workbook on Azure Monitor) visualizes connection performance, host utilization, and user connection failures via workbooks you can customize. Think "AVD-specific operations dashboard for connections/utilization" = AVD Insights; "general metrics/log analytics/alerting platform" = Azure Monitor. Use them to identify and optimize capacity/performance bottlenecks (CPU/memory/profile storage/logon time).
