A company has a public API endpoint that occasionally returns a 503 status code. They want to be alerted when the endpoint is unavailable from at least two of five global locations for a period of 5 minutes. What should they configure?

A log alert on the requests table that counts 503 responses over the last 5 minutes.

An availability test from five locations, with an alert rule that uses the 'location count' aggregation and a threshold of 2.

A multi-step web test that retries the endpoint and alerts on the final result.

A single availability test from one location with an alert on any failure.

A retail company's ASP.NET Core web app runs on Azure App Service. The team wants to correlate a specific customer order ID with all related server-side operations, database queries, and external API calls across multiple services. They plan to use Application Insights. What should they implement?

Set the order ID as a custom dimension on every telemetry item and use it in Log Analytics queries.

Create a separate Application Insights resource for each service and merge the data using workbooks.

Use the built-in distributed tracing by ensuring each service passes the traceparent header and set the order ID as a custom property on the root request.

Add a custom telemetry initializer that injects the order ID into the operation_Id of every telemetry item.

A team is investigating a performance issue where a specific user action is slow. They have Application Insights instrumented. They want to see the exact sequence of events, including custom events, page views, and dependency calls, for that user's session. Which approach should they use?

Use the 'End-to-end transaction details' view for the specific request, which shows all telemetry in the operation.

Use the 'Retention' tool to see how the user's behavior changed over time.

Query the pageViews table for the user's session_Id and manually review the events.

Use the 'User Flows' tool to see the sequence of pages the user visited.
