Question 1 Topic 1, Case Study 1Case Study Question View Case
What should you do to identify the cause of the connectivity issues?
- A. Send cloud-to-device messages to the IoT devices.
- B. Use the heartbeat pattern to send messages from the IoT devices to iothub1.
- C. Monitor the connection status of the device twin by using an Azure function.
- D. Enable the collection of the Connections diagnostic logs and set up alerts for the connected devices count metric.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Scenario: You discover connectivity issues between the IoT gateway devices and iothub1, which cause IoT devices to lose
connectivity and messages.
To log device connection events and errors, turn on diagnostics for IoT Hub. We recommend turning on these logs as early
as possible, because if diagnostic logs aren't enabled, when device disconnects occur, you won't have any information to
troubleshoot the problem with.
Step 1:
1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. Browse to your IoT hub.
3. Select Diagnostics settings.
4. Select Turn on diagnostics.
5. Enable Connections logs to be collected.
6. For easier analysis, turn on Send to Log Analytics (see pricing).
Step 2:
Set up alerts for device disconnect at scale
To get alerts when devices disconnect, configure alerts on the Connected devices (preview) metric.

You are writing code to provision IoT devices by using the Device Provisioning Service.
Which two details from the Overview blade of the Device Provisioning Service are required to provision a new IoT client
device? To answer, select the appropriate detail in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: ID Scope
In the Azure portal, select the Overview blade for your Device Provisioning service and copy the ID Scope value. The ID
Scope is generated by the service and guarantees uniqueness. It is immutable and used to uniquely identify the registration
IDs.
Box 2: Global device endpoint
The global_prov_uri variable, which allows the IoT Hub client registration API IoTHubClient_LL_CreateFromDeviceAuth to
connect with the designated Device Provisioning Service instance.
Example code:
static const char* global_prov_uri = "global.azure-devices-provisioning.net"; static const char* id_scope = "[ID Scope]";

Question 3 Topic 2, Case Study 2Case Study Question View Case
You plan to deploy Azure Time Series Insights.
What should you create on iothub1 before you deploy Time Series Insights?
- A. a new message route
- B. a new consumer group
- C. a new shared access policy
- D. an IP filter rule
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Create a dedicated consumer group in the IoT hub for the Time Series Insights environment to consume from. Each Time
Series Insights event source must have its own dedicated consumer group that isn't shared with any other consumer. If
multiple readers consume events from the same consumer group, all readers are likely to exhibit failures. Reference:

Question 4 Topic 2, Case Study 2Case Study Question View Case
How should you complete the GROUP BY clause to meet the Streaming Analytics requirements?
- A. GROUP BY HoppingWindow(Second, 60, 30)
- B. GROUP BY TumblingWindow(Second, 30)
- C. GROUP BY SlidingWindow(Second, 30)
- D. GROUP BY SessionWindow(Second, 30, 60)
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Scenario: You plan to use a 30-second period to calculate the average temperature reading of the sensors.
Tumbling window functions are used to segment a data stream into distinct time segments and perform a function against
them, such as the example below. The key differentiators of a Tumbling window are that they repeat, do not overlap, and an
event cannot belong to more than one tumbling window.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Hopping window functions hop forward in time by a fixed period. It may be easy to think of them as Tumbling windows that
can overlap, so events can belong to more than one Hopping window result set. Reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/stream-analytics/stream-analytics-window-functions

Question 9 Topic 3, Case Study 3Case Study Question View Case
You need to recommend the format of telemetry messages to meet the POV requirements.
What should you recommend?
- A. XML
- B. Avro
- C. JSON
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Scenario: POV Requirements
Ensure that all message content during this phase is human readable to simplify debugging.
Avro uses a binary format, so it is not human readable.
The more lightweight JSON (Javascript object notation) has become a popular alternative to XML for various reasons. A
couple obvious ones are:
Less verbose- XML uses more words than necessary
JSON is faster- Parsing XML software is slow and cumbersome. Reference:

You have an Azure IoT solution that includes an Azure IoT hub, a Device Provisioning Service instance, and 1,000
connected IoT devices.
All the IoT devices are provisioned automatically by using one enrollment group.
You need to temporarily disable the IoT devices from the connecting to the IoT hub.
Solution: From the Device Provisioning Service, you disable the enrollment group, and you disable device entries in the
identity registry of the IoT hub to which the IoT devices are provisioned.
Does the solution meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No
Answer:
A
Explanation:
You may find it necessary to deprovision devices that were previously auto-provisioned through the Device Provisioning
Service.
In general, deprovisioning a device involves two steps:
1. Disenroll the device from your provisioning service, to prevent future auto-provisioning. Depending on whether you want to
revoke access temporarily or permanently, you may want to either disable ordelete an enrollment entry.
2. Deregister the device from your IoT Hub, to prevent future communications and data transfer. Again, you can temporarily
disable or permanently delete the device's entry in the identity registry for the IoTHub where it was provisioned.
