Identify which Anypoint Monitoring features each subscription tier and control plane provides, how Log Points, the Archive API and API Functional Monitoring work, what hybrid servers need for monitoring, and how Anypoint Monitoring alerts differ from Runtime Manager alerts.

- Certification: Salesforce MuleSoft Platform Integration Architect
- Exam section: Applying DevOps practices and operating integration solutions
- Study guide: https://www.certifyforce.com/study-guide/mulesoft-platform-integration-architect

**Official exam objective:**

> Identify the features and characteristics of Anypoint Monitoring in all deployment options.

## What the exam expects

- Identify which Anypoint Monitoring features a subscription tier and a control plane include, in both the core-based and usage-based pricing models.
- Choose Log Points, log search, raw data downloads or the Archive API for a troubleshooting or data-export need.
- Design API Functional Monitoring with public or private locations.
- State what hybrid standalone servers and Private Cloud Edition need for monitoring, and pick an Anypoint Monitoring or Runtime Manager alert.

**Anypoint Monitoring**: MuleSoft's metrics, dashboards, alerts and log aggregation for Mule apps and APIs. **Log Points**: real-time logs generated for apps or APIs without code or redeployment. **API Functional Monitoring (AFM)**: scheduled tests of API endpoints. **Private location**: a Mule app that runs AFM tests inside your Anypoint VPC environment. **Anypoint Monitoring agent**: the component that sends hybrid server data to the Anypoint Monitoring cloud endpoint ([Monitoring Overview](https://docs.mulesoft.com/monitoring/), [Real-Time Logs](https://docs.mulesoft.com/monitoring/log-points), [Private APIs](https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-functional-monitoring/afm-monitoring-private-apis), [Hybrid setup](https://docs.mulesoft.com/monitoring/am-installing)).

## Check yourself

- When does an organization testing only from AFM public locations need its Customer Success Manager?
- Why can AFM private-location tests wait much longer for a response than public-location tests?
- How does the Anypoint Monitoring agent protect hybrid data in transit?
- When a hybrid app dashboard shows the last 24 hours, at what granularity are Mule messages aggregated?
