300-415 Question 315
Select 3You are tasked with monitoring the performance and health of your Cisco SD-WAN network using REST APIs. Which of the following statements correctly describe how REST API monitoring can be utilized in this scenario?
- A
REST APIs in Cisco SD-WAN allow you to retrieve real-time data such as link status, device health, and application performance.
- B
The REST API can be used to directly configure policies in the SD-WAN environment without requiring vManage.
- C
REST APIs provide access to historical monitoring data stored in vManage for advanced analytics and reporting.
- D
Using REST APIs, you can receive proactive alerts and notifications directly from vManage when thresholds are breached.
- E
REST APIs support the automation of repetitive monitoring tasks by integrating with third-party tools and scripts.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
REST APIs in Cisco SD-WAN are a powerful tool for network monitoring as they provide real-time and historical data access, allowing administrators to analyze performance and health metrics. They also support automation by integrating with third-party tools and custom scripts. However, REST APIs are not used for direct policy configuration or proactive alerting, as these functionalities are handled by vManage or other tools.
- A. Correct.
Correct: REST APIs in Cisco SD-WAN are designed to provide real-time monitoring data such as link status, device health, and application performance metrics, making it a powerful tool for network visibility.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The REST API is primarily focused on monitoring and data retrieval. Configuring policies typically requires interaction with vManage or other configuration tools, not directly through REST API calls.
- C. Correct.
Correct: REST APIs can retrieve historical data stored in vManage, enabling advanced analytics and reporting capabilities for network monitoring.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While proactive alerts and notifications can be configured in vManage, REST APIs themselves do not inherently provide such alerts. Instead, they are used to query and retrieve monitoring data.
- E. Correct.
Correct: REST APIs can integrate with third-party tools and automation scripts, enabling the automation of repetitive tasks and facilitating seamless monitoring workflows.
