AZ400-Q: route a production failure alert

A web application’s request-failure rate exceeds its agreed threshold for five minutes. The on-call team must be notified and the incident system must receive a webhook. Which Azure Monitor design best meets the requirement?

  • A) Create a resource tag named incident.
  • B) Grant the on-call team Reader access to the subscription.
  • C) Write the failure rate to a markdown file after each deployment.
  • D) Create an alert rule on the appropriate metric or log signal, define the threshold/window, and route it through an action group that contains the notification and webhook actions. ✓

Answer: D. An alert rule evaluates a signal and condition; an action group defines who or what is notified when the rule fires.

Why not the others: Tags and Reader access do not produce notifications. Markdown is documentation, not monitoring automation.
