300-435 Question 170
Single answerA network engineer is configuring Cisco DNA Center to monitor network events and send notifications to an external system for further analysis. The engineer wants to ensure that only critical events, such as device outages or major link failures, trigger notifications. Which feature in Cisco DNA Center should the engineer configure to achieve this?
- A
Event Severity Filters
- B
Webhook Subscriptions
- C
Syslog Notification Settings
- D
SNMP Trap Forwarding
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To ensure that only critical events trigger notifications, the engineer should use Event Severity Filters in Cisco DNA Center. This feature allows the filtering of events based on their severity level, ensuring that only relevant and critical notifications are sent to the external system. Webhook Subscriptions, Syslog Notification Settings, and SNMP Trap Forwarding are mechanisms for delivering notifications but do not provide the ability to filter events by severity within Cisco DNA Center.
- A. Correct.
Event Severity Filters allow the engineer to specify which types of events (e.g., critical, warning, informational) should trigger notifications, making it the correct choice for filtering critical events.
- B. Incorrect.
Webhook Subscriptions define the destination to which events are sent but do not control which events trigger notifications. This is not the correct choice for filtering events.
- C. Incorrect.
Syslog Notification Settings configure the sending of syslog messages to external systems but do not provide a way to filter events by severity within Cisco DNA Center. This is not the correct choice for this scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
SNMP Trap Forwarding enables the sending of SNMP traps to external systems but does not allow filtering of events by severity within Cisco DNA Center. This is not the correct choice for this scenario.
