Timed Mode Test 1, 5th question for Monitor and maintain Azure resources

[rolandb]

Hi

Question reads:

Your organization currently has several virtual machines running in their Azure subscription.

You have been assigned to track and compare the latencies of the on-premises site with the latencies of the Azure application.

Which of the following options would satisfy this requirement?

– isn’t ‘packet capture’ also a correct option for this one? See:

Inspect and analyze packet capture files – Azure Network Watcher | Microsoft Learn

Quote:

‘Example uses of packet capture data include investigating network or application problems, detecting network misuse and intrusion attempts, and maintaining regulatory compliance.

In this article, you learn how to use a popular open-source tool to open a packet capture file that Network Watcher provided. You also learn how to calculate connection latency, ….‘

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hello cornettoberlin,

Thanks for the feedback.

Could you please elaborate on why “packet capture” is considered correct?

From the explanation provided:

Packet Capture is incorrect because this will just help you capture all traffic on a VM in your virtual network. Unlike Connection Monitor, which allows you to track both on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

This seems to imply that Packet Capture is limited in scope and does not provide latency metrics or comparative insights between environments. I would appreciate your thoughts on how Packet Capture meets the scenario requirements or what specific capability makes it the preferred option.

Looking forward to your insights.

Best regards,
JR @ Tutorials Dojo

Hello JR

Many thanks for swift and helpful response. While the link I sent says that packet capture can be used together with Wireshark to calculate network latency, I unfortunately overlooked the limitation (i.e. packet capture will just help you capture all traffic on a VM in your virtual network) that is stated in the explanation which you copied into your reply. In view of that, I now see that Connection Monitor makes perfect sense as the correct answer.

Thanks again and best regards
