DP-203 Certification Practice Question #241

Question

You are monitoring an Azure Stream Analytics job.
The Backlogged Input Events count has been 20 for the last hour.
You need to reduce the Backlogged Input Events count.
What should you do?

Accepted Answer

This metric points directly to insufficient processing capacity in the Stream Analytics job. Microsoft Learn says that when Backlogged Input Events stays nonzero or keeps rising, the correct action is to scale out the job, which in Stream Analytics means increasing streaming units. The suggested answer, community vote, and official guidance all align, while the other options do not address the throughput bottleneck.
