Common Traps on Show IP Route Output Practice Questions

  • ·Longest-prefix match is checked before administrative distance.
  • ·Connected and local routes can appear alongside dynamic or static routes.
  • ·The selected route may not be the one with the lowest metric if the prefix length differs.

1.

An e-commerce application emits a high volume of telemetry data to Azure Application Insights. You need to reduce the cost of data ingestion while preserving statistical accuracy for performance metrics. Which sampling technique should you use?

Explanation: Adaptive sampling automatically adjusts the sampling rate based on the volume of telemetry, maintaining accuracy while reducing cost. Fixed-rate sampling may over-sample during low volume or under-sample during high volume. Ingestion sampling and head-based sampling are not standard terms for Application Insights.

2.

You are debugging a performance issue in a live web application monitored by Application Insights. You need to see real-time metrics such as request rate, response times, and any exceptions as they occur, without waiting for the usual telemetry pipeline. Which Application Insights feature should you use?

Explanation: Live Metrics Stream provides near-real-time telemetry from your application, allowing you to monitor performance and diagnose issues as they happen. It shows metrics like request rate, response times, and exceptions with minimal delay. The Analytics portal (A) and Metrics Explorer (C) are query-based and not real-time. Profiler (D) captures traces of slow requests but does not provide a live stream of all metrics.

3.

You need to emit a custom metric in Application Insights that tracks the number of page views per browser. You expect high volume (millions of events per day). Which API should you use to ensure efficient pre-aggregation and avoid performance issues?

Explanation: The GetMetric API is designed for high-volume scenarios by pre-aggregating data on the client side before sending it to Application Insights. This reduces network traffic and cost while maintaining accuracy. TrackEvent sends each event individually, which can cause performance and quota issues at scale. TrackMetric is older and does not support dimensions natively. TrackDependency is for tracking external calls, not page views.

4.

Your e-commerce application sends telemetry to Application Insights. You need to reduce ingestion costs while preserving the ability to detect trends in performance metrics. Which sampling type should you configure?

Explanation: Adaptive sampling automatically adjusts the sampling rate based on the total volume of telemetry, keeping it within a default target (e.g., 5 events per second). It preserves the relative frequency of different event types, so performance trends remain visible. Fixed-rate sampling uses a constant rate but may miss peaks. Ingestion sampling happens at the server and can lose context; head-based sampling is a fixed rate at the SDK.

5.

You are monitoring an Azure App Service using Application Insights. You notice that HTTP 500 errors are increasing, but the standard server response time metric remains normal. You suspect that the errors are occurring in an external API call made by the application. How can you identify the dependency that is failing?

Explanation: Application Insights automatically tracks dependency calls (e.g., HTTP to external APIs) when the SDK is configured. The Dependency Metrics blade shows failure rates and performance for each dependency, allowing you to pinpoint the failing external call.
