Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Azure Monitor with Log Analytics
The correct answers are D and E. Azure Monitor with Log Analytics collects and analyzes telemetry data, including query performance metrics from Azure Synapse Analytics. Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) provide detailed insights into query execution statistics, such as wait types and resource usage. Option A (SQL Data Sync) is for data synchronization across databases, not monitoring. Option B (Azure Policy) is for governance and compliance, not performance analysis. Option C (Azure Advisor) offers optimization recommendations but not real-time monitoring.
