Identify the components of Anypoint Platform that generate data for monitoring and alerting.
~8 min read · 7 practice questions
What the exam expects
- Identify which component must produce a missing measurement or diagnostic record.
- Configure numerical custom facts separately from their contextual dimensions.
- Select application or managed-API log points with the appropriate permission.
- Establish hybrid collection per server and distinguish reporting from continuous delivery.
A fact is a numerical custom measurement; a dimension provides context; a log point generates selected diagnostic logs; a Monitoring agent collects data from its hybrid server; an analytics event describes an API request (custom metrics, log points, hybrid setup, event reports).
