Correct Answer
Set 'Out-of-order tolerance window' to 10 seconds in the Stream Analytics job configuration
Why This Answer Is Correct
The 'Out-of-order tolerance window' tells Stream Analytics to wait up to N seconds for late-arriving events before finalizing a time window. Setting it to 10 seconds allows events delayed by sensor network latency to be correctly included in their time window, preventing incorrect calculations due to event reordering.
This question evaluates your knowledge of Azure Stream Analytics — a core concept tested in Microsoft Certified: Azure IoT Developer Specialty (AZ-220). Understanding Azure Stream Analytics 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.
IoT sensor data arrives in Azure IoT Hub. You need to detect when the average temperature across all sensors exceeds 75°C for any 5-minute window, and send an alert immediately when that threshold is crossed. Which Azure service should you use?
You are using Stream Analytics to calculate the average temperature of a sensor over a moving 10-minute window, where a calculation is triggered every time a new event arrives. Which window type should you use?
A Stream Analytics job processing device telemetry is showing high latency and a large backlog. Which metric should you monitor, and what scaling action is appropriate?
A Stream Analytics query needs to archive telemetry data to Azure Storage and send real-time alerts to a Service Bus Queue. How should you implement this in a single Stream Analytics job?
