Exam AZ-400 topic 8 question 57 discussion

A is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/reports/pipelinereport?view=azure-devops Teams track their pipeline health and efficiency to ensure continuous delivery to their customers. You can gain visibility into your team's pipeline(s) using Pipeline analytics. The source of information for pipeline analytics is the set of runs for your pipeline. These analytics are accrued over a period of time, and form the basis of the rich insights offered. Pipelines reports show you metrics, trends, and can help you identify insights to improve the efficiency of your pipeline.

Correct answer

Correct answer is analytics

The advanced feature of a monitoring tool that should be included in the solution to meet the given requirements is "analytics". Analytics is a feature of a monitoring tool that helps in analyzing data from different sources, including logs, metrics, and traces. It can help identify patterns, trends, and anomalies in the data that may point to the root cause of issues. Therefore, by using analytics, the monitoring solution can parse logs from multiple sources and identify the root cause of issues. Synthetic monitoring is a technique that simulates user interactions with the application to detect potential issues. Directed monitoring is not a commonly used term in the context of monitoring tools. Alert management is a feature that helps to configure and manage alerts based on certain criteria. While these features can be useful in a monitoring solution, they do not directly address the requirements stated in the question. Therefore, the correct answer is A. analytics.

The question is NOT about continous-monitoring of azure cloud. It is about monitoring azure pipeline

Analytics, for sure . https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/reports/pipelinereport?view=azure-devops

Changed my mind maybe, as per MohmmadFayez link, yep there is an "Analytics" tab next to the pipeline Runs and Branches, but the question itself remains a bit obscure though and not well written, I'm afraid.

as per below links I think the answer is D. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/continuous-monitoring https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/continuous-monitoring#ensure-quality-through-continuous-deployment

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/continuous-monitoring "Azure Pipelines integrates with Azure Application Insights to allow continuous monitoring of your DevOps release pipeline throughout the software development lifecycle. With continuous monitoring, release pipelines can incorporate monitoring data from Application Insights and other Azure resources. When the release pipeline detects an Application Insights alert, the pipeline can gate or roll back the deployment until the alert is resolved."

Can't find anything on Azure pipelines with regards to synthetic and directed monitoring. Alert management is out of the question for sure Answer is A then
