A worked example

Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

Implement and manage storage

A company stores project files in an Azure Files share and needs to investigate a spike in failed file requests by querying diagnostic logs with Kusto Query Language. Which Azure Monitor data platform component should the administrator use?

Azure Monitor workspace, queried using Prometheus Query LanguageAzure Monitor workspaces hold Prometheus and OpenTelemetry metrics analyzed with PromQL, not log data, so it cannot run a KQL log query.
Autoscale rules, used to scale resources based on loadAutoscale automatically adds or removes resources based on load and has no role in querying diagnostic logs.
Metrics explorer, used to analyze metrics with PromQLMetrics explorer is a tool for analyzing metrics with PromQL, not for querying stored logs with KQL.
Log Analytics workspace, queried using Kusto Query LanguageCorrect · your answerCorrect: this is the workspace type that stores logs and traces for KQL analysis.
Action groups, used to route alerts to response workflowsAction groups define how alerts are routed to notification or automation workflows, not how logs are queried.

Correct.

Checked against learn.microsoft.com, July 2026

Concept

Azure Monitor's data platform splits telemetry into two workspace types: Log Analytics workspaces for logs and traces queried with KQL, and Azure Monitor workspaces for Prometheus and OpenTelemetry metrics queried with PromQL.

Why D

Log Analytics workspaces collect log and trace data, which is analyzed with Kusto Query Language, matching the requirement to query diagnostic logs.

Source

Log Analytics workspaces collect log and trace data, which can be analyzed with Kusto Query Language (KQL).
