Telemetry volume is driving unacceptable cost. Which technique reduces ingestion while preserving representative data?

  1. A Disable Application Insights
  2. B Adaptive or fixed-rate sampling (correct answer)
  3. C Reduce retention only
  4. D Delete the workspace

Shortcut: Sampling discards a proportion of telemetry while preserving statistical accuracy, and keeps related items together so traces remain coherent. Retention changes storage cost, not ingestion cost.
