Correct answer: Create a data collection rule (DCR)..
Why this is the answer
To collect performance metrics from Server1 using Azure Monitor and a Log Analytics workspace, you need to create a data collection rule (DCR). A DCR defines what data to collect, where to collect it from (e.g., performance counters on Server1), and where to send it (Workspace1). While the Azure Connected Machine agent (part of Azure Arc) is necessary to onboard Server1 to Azure and enable extensions, it doesn't itself define the data collection. Regenerating a secondary key is irrelevant for data collection. Windows Event Forwarding is for event logs, not performance metrics, and is a separate mechanism.
