Q4 Monitor Domain 4 · 20–25% of exam

A team configures Application Insights sampling. What does adaptive sampling adjust automatically?

  1. A Log Analytics workspace retention
  2. B The fraction of telemetry items tracked, reducing volume and cost while preserving statistical accuracy (correct answer)
  3. C Alert thresholds
  4. D Metric aggregation intervals

Shortcut: Adaptive sampling dynamically adjusts the sampling percentage to maintain a target telemetry volume. It ensures representative data at reduced cost, preserving operation counts for accurate failure rate calculations.
