Q5 Event Grid Domain 3 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

A dead-letter destination is configured but no events appear in it after failures. What is a common cause?

  1. A The subscription has no filters
  2. B Event Grid's identity lacks write permission on the dead-letter storage container (correct answer)
  3. C Events are too small
  4. D Retries are disabled

Shortcut: Dead-lettering requires the Event Grid managed identity (or the configured identity) to have Storage Blob Data Contributor on the destination container; otherwise the write silently fails.
