Performance Data for .NET & SQL Server

Correct Answers: A and B.

Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights helps you monitor applications deployed to Amazon EC2 instances with backend as SQL server deployed on Amazon RDS.

It creates automated dashboards based upon errors monitored from all the components of an application.

Following are brief steps to set up an application with Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights,

Add application to insight.

Select a resource group that comprises all components of an application.

Add monitoring details for application components.

Configure components.

Enable & save monitors.

Option C is incorrect as multiple resource groups are not required to be created for each component of the resources.

Options D & E are incorrect as Amazon CloudWatch Application Insight creates automated dashboards for detected problems.

No separate dashboards need to be created.

As a SysOps Administrator, you can configure the following settings to provide performance data for the .NET application and SQL Server running on Amazon RDS, and create a dashboard for errors across all components of the application:

A. Add .NET & SQL Server application to Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights:

Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights provides a unified view of your application's performance by using machine learning to automatically detect and diagnose common problems. By adding the .NET application and SQL Server to Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights, you can monitor the performance of both components in a single dashboard, and receive alerts when there are issues.

B. Create a single resource group for all components of .NET & SQL Server application:

A resource group is a collection of AWS resources that share common tags, such as environment, application, or owner. By creating a single resource group for all components of the .NET application and SQL Server, you can easily view and manage the performance data of all the resources in one place, and quickly identify issues that affect the entire application.

C. Create multiple resource groups for each component of .NET & SQL Server application:

Alternatively, you can create multiple resource groups for each component of the .NET application and SQL Server, such as one for the EC2 instance running the .NET application, and another for the RDS instance running SQL Server. This approach can help you isolate issues that affect specific components of the application, and troubleshoot them more effectively.

D. Create a single Dashboard which will be used by Amazon CloudWatch Application Insight:

Amazon CloudWatch Dashboards allow you to create customized views of your application's performance data, such as graphs, tables, and alarms. By creating a single dashboard for all components of the .NET application and SQL Server, you can easily track the health of the application, identify trends, and troubleshoot issues.

E. Create multiple Dashboards for each component of a .NET & SQL server which will be used by Amazon CloudWatch Application Insight:

Alternatively, you can create multiple dashboards for each component of the .NET application and SQL Server, such as one for the EC2 instance running the .NET application, and another for the RDS instance running SQL Server. This approach can help you isolate issues that affect specific components of the application, and focus on troubleshooting them individually.

In summary, as a SysOps Administrator, you can configure the settings mentioned above to provide performance data for the .NET application and SQL Server running on Amazon RDS, and create a dashboard for errors across all components of the application. The best approach depends on the specific needs of your organization and the complexity of the application architecture.
