Which two statements are true regarding the AppDynamics REST API for retrieving metrics? (Choose two.)

AMetrics can be retrieved for a fixed time range.

BMedian is one of the returned values,

CEnd-time value must be provided if using the time-range-type of AFTER_TIME.

DMinimum and maximum values are meaningful for all metric types.

EWildcards can be used in the REST API metric path.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C, D

The AppDynamics Controller properties that govern how long metric data is retained in the database are1:

metrics.ten.min.retention.period: This property specifies the number of days to retain metric data at 10-minute granularity. The default value is 32 days.

metrics.retention.period: This property specifies the number of days to retain metric data at 1-hour granularity. The default value is 365 days.

metrics.min.retention.period: This property specifies the number of hours to retain metric data at 1-minute granularity. The default value is 4 hours.

The other options are incorrect because1:

metrics.ten.sec.retention.period: This property does not exist in the AppDynamics Controller. The finest granularity for metric data is 1 minute.

metrics.day.retention.period: This property does not exist in the AppDynamics Controller. The coarsest granularity for metric data is 1 hour.

metrics.week.retention.period: This property does not exist in the AppDynamics Controller. The metric data retention is based on days, not weeks.Reference:Database Size and Data Retention

Hmm, I wonder if the exam writers are trying to see if we actually read the AppDynamics documentation. 'Meaningful min/max values' - what does that even mean? I need to brush up on my API trivia.

I'm not sure about that, maybe B and C are the right ones.

I'm going with A and E. The rest of the options seem a bit too specific or niche to be true for the general AppDynamics REST API. Gotta play it safe, you know?

User 1: I think A and E are correct too. It's better to stick with the more general options.

Ha! Looks like they're trying to trick us with C. Who would ever want to provide the end-time value if using AFTER_TIME? That's just plain silly.

I'm not sure about B and D. Median might be a common metric, but I'm not confident it's always returned. And I know some metric types don't have meaningful min/max values.

I think A and E are the correct answers. Retrieving metrics for a fixed time range and using wildcards in the REST API metric path seem like logical options.
