The answer is to run `az search indexer show --name myindexer` and review the `warnings` array in the output. This is correct because indexer warnings signal non-fatal issues—such as truncated fields or type mismatches—that still require investigation, and the `show` command exposes the full execution details, including the `warnings` array, which the `list` command only summarizes. On the AI-102 exam, this tests your ability to differentiate between troubleshooting commands: `list` gives a high-level status, while `show` provides granular diagnostic data, and a common trap is to mistakenly run `az search indexer reset`, which re-runs the indexer without addressing the underlying warnings. Remember the memory tip: "List for status, Show for warnings"—if you need to dig into warnings, you must `show` the indexer, not just list it.
AI-102 Practice Question: Implement knowledge mining and information extraction solutions
This AI-102 practice question tests your understanding of implement knowledge mining and information extraction solutions. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
You run the Azure CLI command 'az search indexer list --search-service mysearch --query "[].{name:name, status:status, lastResult:lastResult}"' and get the above output. Your indexer shows 5 warnings. What should you do to investigate the warnings?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Run 'az search indexer show --name myindexer' and review the 'warnings' array in the output.
Warnings indicate issues that did not cause failure but should be reviewed. Use the 'show' command with --debug or check the indexer execution history via portal or REST API. The reset command would re-run without addressing warnings.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
Run 'az search indexer run --name myindexer' to trigger a new run.
Why it's wrong here
Running again may produce the same warnings; you need to see the existing warnings.
✓
Run 'az search indexer show --name myindexer' and review the 'warnings' array in the output.
Why this is correct
The indexer show command returns detailed execution history including warnings.
Related concept
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
✗
Ignore the warnings because they are not errors.
Why it's wrong here
Warnings may indicate data quality issues that should be investigated.
✗
Run 'az search indexer reset --name myindexer' to reset the indexer.
Why it's wrong here
Resetting re-runs the indexer but does not show warnings; warnings are per execution.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
