Microsoft Azure Architect Design (legacy) — Question 41

A company has a hybrid ASP.NET Web API application that is based on a software as a service (SaaS) offering.
Users report general issues with the data. You advise the company to implement live monitoring and use ad hoc queries on stored JSON data. You also advise the company to set up smart alerting to detect anomalies in the data.
You need to recommend a solution to set up smart alerting.
What should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. Azure Security Center and Azure Data Lake Store
• B. Azure Data Lake Analytics and Azure Monitor Logs
• C. Azure Application Insights and Azure Monitor Logs
• D. Azure Site Recovery and Azure Monitor Logs

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Azure Data Lake Analytics is designed for big data processing and can handle ad hoc queries, while Azure Monitor Logs provides the necessary framework for setting up smart alerting. The other options do not combine the necessary tools for effective live monitoring and alerting on data anomalies.
