Question
A network engineer must configure a new SNMP configuration and syslog servers. The requirement is for all faults and events related to endpoint groups, bridge domains, and VRFs to be sent to it. Which action must be taken to meet the requirements?
Options
- AEnable access monitoring policies on the required endpoint groups, bridge domains, and VRFs.
- BUtilize common tenant monitoring policies in the Cisco APIC.
- CConfigure fabric monitoring policies and attach to the spine switch in the fabric.
- DImplement fabric-wide monitoring policies on all nodes.

Why each option
To ensure all faults and events related to endpoint groups, bridge domains, and VRFs are sent to SNMP and syslog servers, a comprehensive monitoring approach is required. Implementing fabric-wide monitoring policies on all nodes ensures complete coverage across the entire Cisco ACI fabric.
Access monitoring policies are generally more granular and specific, often applied to individual access ports or interfaces, not suitable for collecting all faults and events across multiple types of objects like EPGs, bridge domains, and VRFs universally.
Common tenant monitoring policies are tenant-specific and do not provide fabric-wide coverage for all faults and events across all components, including those outside a specific tenant's scope or affecting the underlying fabric.
Configuring fabric monitoring policies and attaching them only to spine switches would limit the scope of monitoring to only the spine layer, failing to capture faults and events originating from leaf switches, endpoint groups, bridge domains, or VRFs elsewhere in the fabric.
Fabric-wide monitoring policies are designed to apply uniformly across all nodes in the ACI fabric, ensuring that all faults and events, including those related to EPGs, bridge domains, and VRFs, are captured and sent to configured SNMP and syslog servers. This approach provides the most comprehensive monitoring coverage for the entire fabric.
