You have an Azure web app named webapp1.
Users report that they often experience HTTP 500 errors when they connect to webapp1.
You need to provide the developers of webapp1 with real-time access to the connection errors. The solution must provide all the connection error details.
What should you do first?

A. B. C. D.A
The correct answer is A. From webapp1, enable Web server logging.
Explanation:
HTTP 500 errors are server-side errors indicating that something has gone wrong on the server while processing the request. As users are reporting these errors often, it's important to provide developers with real-time access to the connection errors to identify the root cause.
Azure web apps provide different types of logging that can be used to troubleshoot issues. Application Logging, Web Server Logging, and Detailed Error Messages are the logging options that can be used to troubleshoot HTTP 500 errors. However, the question asks for real-time access to connection errors, and the option that provides real-time access to web app logs is Web Server Logging.
Therefore, the first step to troubleshooting the issue would be to enable Web Server Logging from the Azure portal. This would allow developers to access the web app logs in real-time and identify the errors causing the HTTP 500 errors.
Option B, creating a workbook in Azure Monitor, is a dashboard tool used to visualize and analyze data from different sources such as logs, metrics, and traces. Although workbooks can be useful for monitoring web app performance, it does not provide real-time access to the connection errors.
Option C, creating a Service Health alert, is a tool used to receive notifications about Azure service health events that affect the resources in an Azure subscription. It does not provide access to the web app logs.
Option D, turning on Application Logging, is useful for troubleshooting application-specific issues. However, it does not provide access to web app logs in real-time.
