Sample Questions
Try a few questions to see what the full exam is like.
Fourth Coffee runs a loyalty platform in Norway East for resource group rg-azmon-085. During a regional failover test, engineers review Azure Monitor data and find that the current setup is incomplete. The current dashboard combines metrics, logs, and resource health in one workbook. The security team must let each application team query only logs for resources they own while central SREs can still query the whole workspace. Which configuration best satisfies the requirement?
Litware Manufacturing runs a plant-floor dashboard in Germany West Central for resource group rg-azmon-057. During a maintenance outage, engineers review Azure Monitor data and find that the current setup is incomplete. The operations team has Reader rights but cannot change application code during the incident. The security team must let each application team query only logs for resources they own while central SREs can still query the whole workspace. Which configuration best satisfies the requirement?
Litware Manufacturing runs a plant-floor dashboard in Germany West Central for resource group rg-azmon-065. During a maintenance outage, engineers review Azure Monitor data and find that the current setup is incomplete. The current dashboard combines metrics, logs, and resource health in one workbook. The team is modernizing instrumentation and must avoid relying on legacy instrumentation keys for new services. Which configuration best satisfies the requirement?
Fabrikam Health runs a FHIR ingestion service in Canada Central for resource group rg-azmon-028. During a HIPAA audit window, engineers review Azure Monitor data and find that the current setup is incomplete. Costs increased last month, so ingestion volume and alert noise both matter. An incident-management webhook needs normalized alert payload fields across metric, log, and activity log alerts. Which configuration best satisfies the requirement?
Contoso Retail runs a production checkout API in East US and Central US for resource group rg-azmon-097. During a 15-minute incident review, engineers review Azure Monitor data and find that the current setup is incomplete. The operations team has Reader rights but cannot change application code during the incident. The team is modernizing instrumentation and must avoid relying on legacy instrumentation keys for new services. Which configuration best satisfies the requirement?
