Microsoft Azure Developer Associate AZ-204 Practice Question
You are configuring an alert in Azure Monitor for an Application Insights resource. The alert must trigger as close to real time as possible and must not generate additional Log Analytics ingestion or query charges. Which signal type meets both requirements?
A scheduled query alert that runs the same KQL query every minute.
The built-in pre-aggregated Application Insights metric.
A log-based metric created from a KQL query on the Exceptions table.
A custom metric emitted by an Azure Function after reading telemetry from Logs.
Pre-aggregated (standard) Application Insights metrics are calculated automatically when telemetry is ingested. They become available in the Azure Monitor metrics database within seconds, can be evaluated by metric alerts at a 1-minute frequency, and incur no extra Log Analytics costs. Log-based metrics are updated by running a Kusto query on the Logs store; this introduces several-minute latency and the query execution counts toward Log Analytics charges. Scheduled query alerts have similar cost and latency characteristics, and custom code that emits its own metric still pays Log Analytics ingestion if it first queries Logs.
