A storage network engineer is implementing SAN telemetry for a SAN infrastructure using Cisco DCNM for SAN. Which command is used to check the session status for telemetry operation?

Question

Options

• Ashow telemetry pipeline stats
• Bshow telemetry transport
• Cshow telemetry control stats
• Dshow analytics system-load

• A
  8% (4)
• B
  86% (42)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

show telemetry transport (B) is correct because SAN telemetry sessions are established at the transport layer - this command reveals whether the telemetry streaming connection to the collector is active, the session state, bytes sent, and any errors, which is exactly what an engineer needs to verify telemetry operation.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (show telemetry pipeline stats) shows internal pipeline throughput and data-processing counters, not session connectivity.
• C (show telemetry control stats) reflects control-plane messaging statistics, useful for diagnosing subscription negotiation issues but not the live session status.
• D (show analytics system-load) is an analytics performance command unrelated to telemetry transport sessions entirely.

Memory tip: Think "transport = tunnel." Just as you'd check a VPN tunnel's status to see if a session is up, you check the transport to see if your telemetry session is alive and streaming.
