300-620 · Question #302
An engineer resolves an underlying condition of a fault but notices that the fault was not deleted from the Faults view. Which two actions must be taken to remove the fault? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is D. Acknowledge the fault as an administrator. E. The fault is deleted after the retention interval. In Cisco ACI, even after the underlying fault condition is resolved, an active fault typically remains in the system until it is manually acknowledged by an administrator and then expires after its configured retention interval.

Why each option
In Cisco ACI, even after the underlying fault condition is resolved, an active fault typically remains in the system until it is manually acknowledged by an administrator and then expires after its configured retention interval.
While the raised condition ceasing is necessary for the fault to clear, it alone does not immediately delete the fault from the 'Faults' view; acknowledgement and retention interval are also involved.
This statement is incorrect; faults are indeed deleted from the system after resolution, acknowledgement, and retention policies are met.
A soaking timer is used to prevent transient faults from being raised too frequently; it does not directly cause an active, resolved fault to be deleted from the system view.
Acknowledging a fault as an administrator marks the fault as addressed, which is a prerequisite for it to eventually be deleted from the system after the retention interval, even if the underlying condition has ceased.
Cisco ACI faults have a retention policy. Once a fault's underlying condition is resolved and it is acknowledged (or if it's a transient fault that simply clears), it will be deleted from the system after its configured retention interval expires.
