DP-203 Practice Question: Secure, monitor, and optimize data storage and data processing
Which TWO Azure services can be used to monitor Azure Data Factory pipeline runs and set up alerts?
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
✓
Log Analytics
Log Analytics and Azure Monitor are the correct choices because they directly support monitoring and alerting for Azure Data Factory pipeline runs. Microsoft Sentinel is a SIEM that consumes logs from Log Analytics but is not a primary monitoring service for ADF. Azure Policy enforces governance rules and does not provide monitoring. Azure Advisor offers recommendations for optimization, not real-time monitoring or alerts.

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. Which TWO Azure services can you use to monitor data processing pipelines in Azure Data Factory?
easy- ✓ A.Log Analytics workspace
- B.Azure Sentinel
- C.Azure Dashboard
- D.Azure Service Health
- ✓ E.Azure Monitor
Why A: Azure Monitor is the primary monitoring service for Azure resources, providing metrics, alerts, and diagnostics for Azure Data Factory pipelines. Log Analytics workspace enables querying and analyzing pipeline run logs, which is essential for deep monitoring and troubleshooting. Azure Sentinel (A) is a SIEM for security, not pipeline monitoring. Azure Dashboard (C) is a visualization tool that can display metrics but is not a monitoring service itself. Azure Service Health (D) tracks Azure platform health, not individual pipeline runs.
