Exhibit
Key Vault diagnostic settings ----------------------------- Destination: Storage account only Logs: AuditEvent = Disabled Metrics: AllMetrics = Enabled Retention on storage account: 7 days Investigation requirement ------------------------ Search administrative and access events in Log Analytics Keep data queryable for 30 days Create log alerts from the collected events
Based on the exhibit, a security team wants to search Key Vault audit events in Log Analytics for 30 days and create alerts when secrets are accessed unexpectedly. The current diagnostic configuration is not sending the right data. What should the administrator enable?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Best answer
Enable AuditEvent and send the logs to a Log Analytics workspace.
Key Vault audit events must be collected into Log Analytics to support search, KQL queries, and log-based alerting. Enabling the AuditEvent category and targeting a workspace satisfies both investigation and alerting requirements.
B
Distractor review
Enable only AllMetrics and keep sending data to the storage account.
Metrics show health and performance trends, but they do not capture the audit trail needed to investigate secret access or administrative changes.
C
Distractor review
Create a private endpoint for the Key Vault.
A private endpoint improves network access control, but it does not configure log collection or make audit events searchable.
D
Distractor review
Turn on a resource lock with the ReadOnly effect.
Locks are unrelated to diagnostics. A ReadOnly lock would also interfere with normal administration rather than solve log collection.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this AZ-104 question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Enable AuditEvent and send the logs to a Log Analytics workspace. — The requirement is to investigate and alert on Key Vault access and administrative activity, which requires audit logs, not just metrics. Diagnostic settings must be configured to export the AuditEvent category to Log Analytics. Once there, the logs can be queried with KQL, retained per workspace policy, and used by log-based alerts for suspicious access patterns. Why others are wrong: Metrics and storage-only export do not provide the searchable audit trail the team needs. Private endpoints are useful for network isolation, but they do not collect telemetry. A ReadOnly lock affects resource management and would not help with log analytics or alerting.
