Correct Answer
Enable Application Insights Profiler to capture detailed traces and flame graphs for slow requests
Why This Answer Is Correct
Application Insights Profiler automatically attaches to running .NET applications and captures detailed execution traces (including call stacks and dependency durations) for requests that exceed a configurable threshold, all without code changes.
This question evaluates your knowledge of Application Insights — a core concept tested in Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204). Understanding Application Insights is essential for designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures. Mastery of this topic will help you answer scenario-based questions confidently on exam day.
Your Azure Function app is throwing exceptions in production. You need to capture the full exception details, correlated request traces, and custom business events (like 'OrderPlaced') in one place so you can diagnose issues efficiently. Which solution should you implement?
You are analyzing Application Insights telemetry for your web API. You need to find all requests that took longer than 2 seconds in the last 24 hours and count them by operation name. Which tool in Application Insights should you use?
Your web application uses Application Insights for monitoring. You want to enrich all collected telemetry (requests, exceptions, dependencies) with custom metadata, such as the current deployment slot name and the user's subscription tier, so that you can filter performance metrics in Log Analytics. Which Application Insights extensibility point should you implement?
