A company needs to monitor sign-in logs from multiple Microsoft Entra ID tenants and analyze user sign-in patterns across those tenants. Which Azure solution should they use?
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.
Best answer
Azure Sentinel with Microsoft Entra ID connectors
Correct. Azure Sentinel can connect to multiple Microsoft Entra ID tenants via connectors and perform advanced analytics across data sources, making it ideal for cross-tenant sign-in analysis.
Distractor review
Azure Log Analytics workspace with Microsoft Entra ID diagnostic settings
Incorrect. While you can stream logs from multiple tenants to a single Log Analytics workspace, the analysis capabilities are more limited without Sentinel's built-in SIEM features.
Distractor review
Microsoft Entra ID Reports and Monitoring
Incorrect. Microsoft Entra ID built-in reports only show data for a single tenant and do not provide cross-tenant aggregation.
Distractor review
Azure Monitor Workbooks
Incorrect. Workbooks are for visualizing data within a workspace but do not address ingesting or analyzing data from multiple tenants.
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-305 question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Azure Sentinel with Microsoft Entra ID connectors — Azure Sentinel can ingest sign-in logs from multiple Microsoft Entra ID tenants using connectors and provides advanced analytics (e.g., anomaly detection, custom queries) to analyze patterns across tenants. While Log Analytics can also collect logs, Sentinel offers built-in SIEM capabilities for cross-tenant analysis.
