Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure — Question 42

You have an Azure Stream Analytics job.
You need to ensure that the job has enough streaming units provisioned.
You configure monitoring of the SU % Utilization metric.
Which two additional metrics should you monitor? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. Backlogged Input Events
• B. Watermark Delay
• C. Function Events
• D. Out of order Events
• E. Late Input Events

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Monitoring 'Backlogged Input Events' helps identify if there are events waiting to be processed, indicating that the job may need more resources. 'Watermark Delay' is crucial as it reflects the time discrepancy in processing events, which can also signal resource issues. The other options, while relevant to event processing, do not directly indicate the need for additional streaming units.
