A worked example

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

monitoring-toolsDescribe Azure management and governanceEasy

Which Azure Monitor workspace type stores Prometheus metrics?

Log Analytics workspaceLog Analytics workspaces hold log and trace data queried with KQL. The names are close, and the data stores are not.
Application Insights resourceAn Application Insights resource collects application telemetry and stores it in a Log Analytics workspace behind the scenes.
Azure Storage accountA storage account is a destination for archived diagnostic data, not a workspace the metrics tools query.
Azure Data Explorer clusterData Explorer runs KQL over large datasets and shares heritage with Log Analytics, but it is a separate service.
Azure Monitor workspaceCorrect · your answerCorrect: despite the similar names, this is the metrics store, with PromQL as its language.

Correct.

Concept

One monitoring service can carry more than one data store, each with its own ingestion path and query dialect. Picking the wrong store means the query language will not run.

Why E

The data platform uses two workspace types: Log Analytics workspaces collect log and trace data queried with KQL, while Azure Monitor workspaces collect Prometheus and OpenTelemetry metrics queried with PromQL.
