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.

Query the 'traces' table where message contains 'SearchLatency'.
Dependencies in Application Insights are stored in the 'dependencies' table, which records outgoing HTTP calls to Azure AI Search.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Query the 'traces' table where message contains 'SearchLatency'.
Why this is correct
'traces' is for custom log messages unless explicitly mapped to dependencies.
- ✓
Query the 'requests' table where name contains 'VectorSearch'.
Why this is correct
The 'requests' table records incoming calls to your application, not outgoing calls to Azure AI Search.
- ✓
Query the 'customMetrics' table where name equals 'SearchDuration'.
Why this is correct
'customMetrics' stores aggregated numeric metrics, not granular dependency call durations.
- ✓
Query the 'dependencies' table where target contains 'search.windows.net'.
Why this is correct
Outgoing requests to external services like Azure AI Search are logged as dependencies.
