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, Real-Time Logs, Private APIs, Hybrid setup).
