Explanation

show sdwan event is correct because it displays SD-WAN event logs, including path selection decisions and path quality measurements - exactly the visibility needed for monitoring dynamic path changes and SD-WAN policy behavior in real time.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (show sdwan path-monitor stats vif) relates to path monitor statistics on a specific virtual interface - useful for health metrics, but not event history or path selection events.
• B (show sdwan session distribution policy-name) shows how sessions are distributed across paths for a given policy - a traffic distribution view, not an event log.
• C (show sdwan connection all) displays active SD-WAN connections/tunnels - a connectivity overview, not event-level path selection data.

Memory tip: Think D for Diary - event is the SD-WAN diary that records what happened and when, making it your go-to for path selection and quality events over time. The other commands give you snapshots of current state, not historical event data.
