An operator was asked to enable real-time metrics for a Virtual Service. Which action can be taken to enable these metrics?

Question

Options

• ACreate a new Analytics Profile with real-time metrics enabled
• BCreate a DataScript
• CEnable real-time metrics on the Pool and Virtual Service
• DEnable real-time metrics in the Service Engine Group

• A
  90% (35)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

In Avi Networks / NSX Advanced Load Balancer, the Analytics Profile is the dedicated configuration object that controls how metrics are collected, retained, and displayed - including enabling real-time (per-second) metrics - and is then attached to a Virtual Service to take effect.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (DataScript): DataScripts handle custom traffic logic (similar to iRules), not metrics configuration.
• C (Pool/Virtual Service): Real-time metrics is not a toggle directly on the Pool or Virtual Service object; those objects reference an Analytics Profile to govern that behavior.
• D (Service Engine Group): The SE Group controls compute and networking behavior of the Service Engines themselves, not per-VS metrics granularity.

Memory tip: Match the object to its purpose - "Analytics Profile" controls analytics settings. Any time an exam question asks about changing metrics behavior (real-time, retention, percentiles), the answer almost always involves creating or modifying an Analytics Profile.
