Azure App Service Logging For Connection Errors

MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency, operates an Azure web app called StudentPortal that provides online course access to students worldwide. As the newly hired Azure administrator for MDFT Pro, you are responsible for maintaining the application’s performance and reliability. Recently, students and trainers have been reporting frequent HTTP 500 errors when accessing the StudentPortal, causing disruption to online training sessions.

Mark, the CTO at MDFT Pro, has asked you to provide the development team with real-time access to detailed connection error information so they can quickly identify and resolve the issues affecting the learning platform.

The development team needs comprehensive details about the connection errors, including request information, response codes, and server-level diagnostics to effectively troubleshoot the HTTP 500 errors that are impacting the student learning experience.

What should you do first to provide the developers with real-time access to detailed connection error information?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Enable Application Logging is incorrect. Application logging captures information generated by the web application code but does not provide detailed connection error information at the web server level. HTTP 500 errors are typically server-level connection issues that require web server logging to diagnose.
Create a Service Health alert in Azure Monitor is incorrect. Service Health alerts notify about Azure service outages and planned maintenance but do not provide real-time connection error details for individual applications. This would not help developers troubleshoot specific HTTP 500 errors in their application.
Enable Web server logging is correct. Web server logging captures detailed information about HTTP requests and responses, including connection errors, status codes, and server-level diagnostics. This provides developers with the comprehensive connection error details needed to troubleshoot HTTP 500 errors in real-time.
Create a workbook in Azure Monitor is incorrect. Azure Monitor workbooks are useful for creating custom dashboards and reports but do not generate the underlying connection error data needed. You must first enable logging to capture the error details before you can visualize them in a workbook.
