AZ-305 · Question 06 · Domain 1.1: Logging and Monitoring

Contoso Ltd has 50 Azure subscriptions managed via a complex Management Group hierarchy. They are designing a centralized monitoring solution using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.

The security team requires strict isolation of security logs, accessible only by the SOC team. The application teams require access to their own performance and application logs. You need to design the Log Analytics workspace architecture to minimize administrative overhead while meeting these access requirements.

Which architecture should you recommend?

Answer options:

A.

A single centralized Log Analytics workspace with workspace-context access mode.

B.

A single centralized Log Analytics workspace with resource-context access mode.

C.

One workspace for security logs and one workspace per application team.

D.

One workspace per subscription with diagnostic settings forwarding to a central storage account.

How to approach this question

Evaluate centralized vs distributed workspaces. Centralized minimizes overhead. Resource-context RBAC solves the isolation requirement.

Full Answer

B.A single centralized Log Analytics workspace with resource-context access mode.✓ Correct
A single centralized Log Analytics workspace with resource-context access mode.
A single centralized workspace minimizes administrative overhead. By using 'resource-context' access mode, application teams can only query logs for the specific Azure resources they have RBAC permissions to. The SOC team can be granted access to the specific security tables (Table-level RBAC) within that same workspace.

Common mistakes

Choosing multiple workspaces (Option C) thinking physical separation is required for security, which ignores the 'minimize administrative overhead' requirement.
