Explanation

show sdwan event is correct because it is specifically designed to display SD-WAN event logs, including path selection decisions, path quality measurements, and other SD-WAN operational events - giving administrators direct visibility into how the SD-WAN fabric is behaving over time.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. show sdwan connection all - displays active SD-WAN tunnel connections and their states, not event history or path quality data.
• B. show sdwan session distribution policy-name - shows how sessions are distributed across paths according to a specific policy, not event logs or path selection history.
• C. show sdwan path-monitor stats vif - displays path monitoring statistics for a specific virtual interface, which is more granular/interface-scoped and not a general event viewer.

Memory tip: Think of "event" as the event log - just like checking Windows Event Viewer to see what happened and when, show sdwan event is your go-to for a timeline of SD-WAN decisions and quality changes. If you want to watch the story unfold, use event.
