Question
Your company has a private cloud that contains a System Center 2012 R2 infrastructure. You run applications virtually by using Hyper-V hosts. Each application has a dedicated virtual machine on a Hyper-V host. The Microsoft Monitoring Agent is deployed to all physical servers. Currently, all of the physical servers are monitored for memory, CPU, and disk space use. You need to monitor the memory, CPU, and disk space use of each application server. What should you do?
Options
- ADeploy the Microsoft Monitoring Agent to each virtual machine.
- BConfigure a new notification subscription for each Hyper-V host.
- CDeploy the Configuration Manager client to each virtual machine.
- DConfigure a new channel for each virtual machine.

Why each option
To monitor memory, CPU, and disk space on virtual machines in Operations Manager, the Microsoft Monitoring Agent must be deployed directly to each VM.
Operations Manager uses an agent-based model for collecting performance metrics such as memory, CPU, and disk utilization. The Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) installed on the Hyper-V hosts only monitors the physical host layer; it has no visibility into guest OS-level metrics inside each VM. Deploying the MMA to each virtual machine allows the agent to collect OS-level performance data directly from within the guest OS and report it back to the management server.
Notification subscriptions control how and when alerts are sent to administrators and do not provide performance monitoring or data collection capabilities.
The Configuration Manager client enables software deployment, patch management, and compliance reporting but does not provide Operations Manager performance monitoring functionality.
Channels in Operations Manager define notification delivery mechanisms (email, SMS, etc.) and are not related to performance data collection from monitored systems.
