Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question
Your organization manages six Azure subscriptions that are frequently reorganized. You must design a logging solution that meets the following requirements: collect all activity and resource diagnostic logs from every subscription in a single location, retain the data for at least 730 days even if a subscription or resource is deleted, and require the least ongoing administrative effort when new subscriptions are created. Which solution should you recommend?
Configure each resource to send diagnostic logs to individual Application Insights instances and enable continuous export from each instance to an immutable storage account.
Deploy an Event Hubs namespace in every subscription, stream all diagnostic data to an on-premises SIEM, and archive the data there for two years.
Enable export of each subscription's Activity Log to a storage account in the same subscription and configure lifecycle management to keep the data in the Cool tier for two years.
Create a Log Analytics workspace in a dedicated management subscription, use an Azure Policy initiative to configure subscription-level diagnostic settings that send all Activity Log and resource diagnostic logs to the workspace, and set the workspace retention to 730 days.
A dedicated Log Analytics workspace in a separate management subscription provides a single, durable location for logs that is unaffected if other subscriptions or resources are deleted. Subscription-level diagnostic settings can forward both Azure Activity Logs and resource diagnostic logs directly to this workspace. By assigning an Azure Policy initiative that automatically deploys and configures these diagnostic settings to any current or future subscription, you avoid manual per-subscription configuration and ensure consistent onboarding. The workspace's retention can be set to 730 days, meeting the compliance requirement. The other options either scatter logs across multiple storage accounts, rely on on-premises infrastructure, or use Application Insights (which is intended for application telemetry, not comprehensive platform logging) and therefore fail to meet centralization, durability, or administrative-effort requirements.
