A developer needs to run a Kusto query against application request data to identify 95th percentile latency by operation. Where should the query be run?
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
Logs in Application Insights or the associated Log Analytics workspace
Application Insights stores telemetry that can be queried with KQL in Logs.
B
Distractor review
Microsoft Entra audit logs
Entra audit logs track identity events, not application performance telemetry.
C
Distractor review
Azure Key Vault diagnostic settings
Key Vault logs do not contain application request latency.
D
Distractor review
Azure Resource Graph only
Resource Graph queries Azure resource metadata, not application request telemetry.
Common exam trap
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.
Technical deep dive
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.
