Send application metrics using Dropwizard.

Spark uses a configurable metrics system based on the Dropwizard Metrics Library.

To send application metrics from Azure Databricks application code to Azure Monitor, follow these steps:

Step 1: Configure your Azure Databricks cluster to use the Databricksmonitoring library. Prerequisite: Configure your Azure
Databricks cluster to use the monitoring library.

Step 2: Build the spark-listeners-loganalytics-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar JAR file

Step 3: Create Dropwizard counters in your application code

QUESTION NO: 8

You need to identify the cause of the performance issues on SalesSQLDb1.

Which two dynamic management views should you use? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

A. sys.dm_pdw_nodes_tran_locks

B. sys.dm_exec_compute_node_errors

C. sys.dm_exec_requests

D. sys.dm_cdc_errors

E. sys.dm_pdw_nodes_os_wait_stats

F. sys.dm_tran_locks

ANSWER: A E

Explanation:

SalesSQLDb1 experiences performance issues that are likely due to out-of-date statistics and frequent blocking queries.

A: Use sys.dm_pdw_nodes_tran_locks instead of sys.dm_tran_locks from Azure Synapse Analytics (SQL Data Warehouse)
or Parallel Data Warehouse.

E: Example:

The following query will show blocking information.

SELECT

t1.resource_type, t1.resource_database_id, t1.resource_associated_entity_id, t1.request_mode, t1.request_session_id,

t2.blocking_session_id

FROM sys.dm_tran_locks as t1

INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks as t2

ON t1.lock_owner_address = t2.resource_address;

Note: Depending on the system you’re working with you can access these wait statistics from one of three locations:

sys.dm_os_wait_stats: for SQL Server sys.dm_db_wait_stats: for Azure SQL Database sys.dm_pdw_nodes_os_wait_stats:
for Azure SQL Data Warehouse

F: sys.dm_tran_locks returns information about currently active lock manager resources in SQL Server 2019 (15.x). Each
row represents a currently active request to the lock manager for a lock that has been granted or is waiting to be granted.

Instead use sys.dm_pdw_nodes_tran_locks.

QUESTION NO: 9

You plan to perform batch processing in Azure Databricks once daily.

Which type of Databricks cluster should you use?

A. automated

B. interactive

C. High Concurrency

ANSWER: A

Explanation:

Azure Databricks makes a distinction between all-purpose clusters and job clusters. You use all-purpose clusters to analyze
data collaboratively using interactive notebooks. You use job clusters to run fast and robust automated jobs.

The Azure Databricks job scheduler creates a job cluster when you run a job on a new job cluster and terminates the cluster
when the job is complete.

ANSWER:

Explanation:

Box 1: The server, the elastic pool, and the database Senario:

SalesSQLDb1 is in an elastic pool named SalesSQLDb1Pool.

Litware technical requirements include: all SQL Server and Azure SQL Database metrics related to CPU and storage usage
and limits must be analyzed by using Azure built-in functionality.

Box 2: Azure Event hubs

Scenario: Migrate ManufacturingSQLDb1 to the Azure virtual machine platform. Event hubs are able to handle custom
metrics.

Incorrect Answers:

Azure Log Analytics

Azure metric and log data are sent to Azure Monitor Logs, previously known as Azure Log Analytics, directly by Azure. Azure
SQL Analytics is a cloud only monitoring solution supporting streaming of diagnostics telemetry for all of your Azure SQL
databases.

However, because Azure SQL Analytics does not use agents to connect to Azure Monitor, it does not support monitoring of
SQL Server hosted onpremises or in virtual machines.
