Question 460
At fictional Evergreen Print, the Business Central development team is supporting print production scheduling and reviewing automated testing and diagnostics during a release qualification test (MB820-5.2-177). The observed development issue is that an extension is slow for some tenants but developer logs show no environment, operation or correlation context. Which recurring engineering check would best prevent this issue from returning?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The ongoing check is to review telemetry coverage after critical workflow changes. This helps detect recurrence when an extension is slow for some tenants but developer logs show no environment, operation or correlation context. The associated correction is to configure telemetry and use meaningful dimensions to link the operation to the affected environment; a confirming result is that application Insights records support tracing an individual slow operation without exposing private content.
Incorrect Answers
“Validate dashboard queries when event schemas change” concerns the alternative task “use stable event identifiers and a controlled schema for emitted telemetry”, but the stated failure is that an extension is slow for some tenants but developer logs show no environment, operation or correlation context. The required measure is to review telemetry coverage after critical workflow changes.
The proposed “Track custom-event rates after major feature releases” tests a different control: use appropriate verbosity and targeted instrumentation for meaningful events. The reported condition is that an extension is slow for some tenants but developer logs show no environment, operation or correlation context; the more direct action is to review telemetry coverage after critical workflow changes.
“Alert on sustained failed-job counters” supports the separate task “emit safe failure signals and preserve actionable error outcomes in the job path”, not the reported problem: an extension is slow for some tenants but developer logs show no environment, operation or correlation context. This case instead calls for “Review telemetry coverage after critical workflow changes”.
