Exam AI-103 Topic 1 Question 13 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's AI-103 exam
Question #: 13
Topic #: 1
You have a Microsoft Foundry project that contains a prompt agent used by a customer support web app.
The agent is invoked from a Python service that does NOT run in the Foundry portal.
You need to implement end-to-end tracing to capture latency breakdowns and exceptions across agent runs.
Which two components can you use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer: B,C Vote an answer

The correct components are OpenTelemetry and Application Insights . Microsoft Foundry tracing for prompt agents is designed to capture detailed telemetry for agent execution, including latency, exceptions, prompt activity, and retrieval operations. For a Python service that invokes the agent outside the Foundry portal, OpenTelemetry is the appropriate instrumentation mechanism because the Foundry SDK tracing setup uses OpenTelemetry packages and Azure SDK tracing integration for client-side traces. This enables distributed tracing across the external Python service and the agent run.
Application Insights is the telemetry backend used by Foundry tracing. The Foundry tracing setup requires an Azure Monitor Application Insights resource to store traces, and traces can then be viewed in Foundry or directly in Azure Monitor Application Insights. Application Insights also provides performance and failure investigation experiences for response times, slow transactions, errors, and exceptions.
A Log Analytics workspace may underlie Application Insights data storage, but it is not the agent tracing component itself. The Azure Monitor Agent collects machine and guest telemetry, not application-level agent traces from a Python SDK invocation. Microsoft Sentinel is a security information and event management solution, not an end-to-end agent tracing mechanism. Reference topics: Microsoft Foundry tracing, Azure Monitor Application Insights, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, prompt agent observability, and Python SDK telemetry.
