Azure DevOps Engineer Exam: Question 18

This is the AZ 400 certification prep question number 18 of 50. Your team wants to inspect logs generated by the Azure application insights using Kusto query language or KQL. Which portal should you use to write KQL queries? A, Azure portal monitor logs. B, Azure portal DevOps pipelines. C, Azure portal storage blobs. Or D, Azure portal functions monitor. Well, B is incorrect because DevOps pipelines is for CICD and build release configuration. Not for log based KQL queries. C is incorrect because blob stores are unstructured files and they don't expose application insights telemetry. D is incorrect because functions monitor is scoped to Azure functions and it doesn't expose the full application insights log store. The correct answer is A. The logs blade in the Azure monitor, which is Azure portal monitor logs, is the primary interface for writing KQL queries against application insights and other log sources. It provides a query editor and schema browser for telemetry data. Check out our AZ 400 course on codecloud.com.
