Exam 350-601 topic 1 question 238 discussion

Actual exam question from Cisco's 350-601

Question #: 238
Topic #: 1

An administrator is implementing DCNM so that events are triggered when monitored traffic exceeds the configured percent utilization threshold. The requirement is to configure a maximum limit of 39913690 bytes that applies directly to the statistics collected as a ratio of the total link capacity. Which DCNM performance monitoring configuration parameter must be implemented to achieve this result?

A. Absolute Values
B. Baseline
C. Util%
D. Per Port Monitoring

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
The Performance Manager Configuration Wizard allows you to set up two thresholds that trigger events when the monitored traffic exceeds the percent utilization configured. These event triggers can be set as either Critical or Warning events that are reported on the DCNM-SAN web client Events browser page.
You must choose either absolute value thresholds or baseline thresholds that apply to all transmit or receive traffic defined in the collection. Click the Use absolute values radio button on the last screen of the Performance Manager Configuration Wizard to configure thresholds that apply directly to the statistics gathered.
These statistics, as a percent of the total link capacity, are compared to the percent utilization configured for the threshold type. If the statistics exceed either configured threshold, an event is shown on the DCNM-SAN web client Events tab.
As an example, the collection has absolute value thresholds set for 60% utilization (for warning) and 80% utilization (for critical). If Performance Manager detects that the traffic on a 1-Gigabit link in its collection exceeds 600 Mbps, a warning event is triggered. If the traffic exceeds 800 Mbps, a critical event is triggered.

Looks like A is the correct answer: "Use absolute values radio button on the last screen of the Performance Manager Configuration Wizard to configure thresholds that apply directly to the statistics gathered. These statistics, as a percent of the total link capacity, are compared to the percent utilization configured for the threshold type"

answer is A - absolute values You must choose either absolute value thresholds or baseline thresholds that apply to all transmit or receive traffic defined in the collection. Click the Use absolute values radio button on the last screen of the Performance Manager Configuration Wizard to configure thresholds that apply directly to the statistics gathered. These statistics, as a percent of the total link capacity, are compared to the percent utilization configured for the threshold type. If the statistics exceed either configured threshold, an event is shown on the DCNM-SAN web client Events tab. look for 'Using Performance Thresholds' - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/11_x/fundamentals/cisco_dcnm_fundamentals_guide_11/monitoring_performance.html
