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 Log Analytics
Options B and D are correct. Azure Monitor is the primary service for collecting Azure Data Factory metrics and logs and for configuring alerts. Azure Log Analytics is used to query those logs and create failure alerts. Option A is not a standalone Azure service; Azure Data Factory monitoring views are a built-in feature and do not independently provide alerting. Option C is a SIEM/SOAR security service, not for pipeline monitoring. Option E is for automation, not monitoring/alerting.
