AI-200 Security And Observability Practice Question
An enterprise AI application experiences intermittent HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) errors when calling Azure OpenAI Service during peak hours. You need to analyze the exact token consumption trends and throttling patterns over the past week. Where should you look first in Azure Monitor?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Azure Monitor Metrics explorer, charting 'Processed Tokens' and 'Token Generation' metrics filtered by deployment name
Metrics explorer in Azure Monitor allows you to query metrics such as 'Processed Prompts' and 'Tokens' for Azure OpenAI, categorized by dimensions like model deployment name, to diagnose throttling.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Azure Monitor Metrics explorer, charting 'Processed Tokens' and 'Token Generation' metrics filtered by deployment name
Why this is correct
Correct. Monitoring consumed tokens against provisioned throughput units (PTUs) or tokens-per-minute (TPM) limits via metrics helps diagnose 429 errors.
- ✗
Log Analytics workspace querying the AzureActivity table for throttling events
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. AzureActivity logs management plane operations, whereas data plane usage metrics and diagnostic logs track inference token counts.
- ✗
Azure Cost Management and Billing dashboard for daily spend trends
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Cost Management tracks monetary expenditure, not real-time API throttling or token throughput.
- ✗
Application Insights availability tests configured with a 5-minute frequency
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Availability tests ping a URL to check uptime, but do not provide granular Azure OpenAI token usage metrics.
