AI-200 Security And Observability Practice Question
You are troubleshooting a Python application that uses Azure SDK libraries to interact with Azure AI services. The application is flooding Log Analytics with excessive telemetry, causing unexpected cost increases. You want to dynamically adjust the sampling rate of Application Insights without redeploying application code. How can you achieve this?
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
✓
Configure adaptive sampling in the Application Insights SDK configuration or connection string parameters to automatically reduce telemetry volume
Application Insights supports adaptive sampling and fixed-rate sampling configured via application settings or through the Application Insights portal settings (for certain platforms) or instrumentation key configuration, but adaptive sampling can also be tuned via code or connection strings.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure adaptive sampling in the Application Insights SDK configuration or connection string parameters to automatically reduce telemetry volume
Why this is correct
Correct. Adaptive sampling reduces the amount of telemetry sent to Azure Monitor, helping control ingestion costs while maintaining statistical data representation.
- ✗
Modify Azure subscription billing policies to cap Log Analytics data ingestion at zero cost
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Capping workspace ingestion drops data arbitrarily or stops logging entirely rather than managing sampling intelligently.
- ✗
Delete the Log Analytics workspace and recreate it with a lower pricing tier
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Deleting the workspace deletes all stored historical log data and does not dynamically adjust application sampling rates.
- ✗
Use Azure Policy to deny all incoming Application Insights trace requests
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Azure Policy does not control application-level telemetry sampling rates.
