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
Azure Monitor is the primary service for collecting and analyzing pipeline run logs and metrics in Azure Data Factory. Option A is wrong because Azure Purview is a data governance service, not for monitoring. Option B is wrong because Azure Log Analytics is a component of Azure Monitor used for querying logs, but Azure Monitor itself is the service that collects and analyzes the logs. Option D is wrong because Azure Sentinel is a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solution, not for pipeline monitoring.
