Question 280
An IoT platform loads near-real-time device events into Fabric. The current environment exhibits the following problem: event timestamps are in mixed local time zones. Which action should the team take next?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Normalize incoming event time to a consistent timestamp interpretation. Event-time processing relies on comparable clocks across devices.
Incorrect Answers
Devices publish events minutes late and counts keep changing unexpectedly. Watermarks define when state can be finalized for late records.
An event feed needs subminute processing rather than a once-daily batch. Streaming engines process continuous arrivals with persistent checkpoints.
A dashboard needs the number of unique sensors in each five-minute interval. Windows turn unbounded events into bounded analytical measurements.
