Explanation

Explanation

When Cisco Catalyst Center returns a REST API response for an asynchronous discovery task, the progress field (or endTime combined with isError: false) in the JSON response indicates the task completed without errors - this maps to a "successful" status, making Option B correct. In Catalyst Center's Task API responses, a task showing "isError": false along with a populated endTime and progress indicating completion confirms the task succeeded.

  • Option A (restarted) is incorrect because "restarted" is not a standard task status returned in Catalyst Center's task API response fields.
  • Option C (failed) would require "isError": true in the response, along with an error-related failure message in the progress or description fields.
  • Option D (stopped) is incorrect because a stopped/terminated task would reflect a different state indicator, not the completion fields shown in a successful response.

Memory Tip: When reading Catalyst Center async task responses, focus on the isError field - think of it as a simple pass/fail flag: false = success , true = failure . If there's no error flag and an end time exists, the task finished successfully.
