350-601 Automation Practice Question
A data center engineer is implementing model-driven telemetry using Cisco NX-OS. Which three components are required in the telemetry configuration? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse model-driven telemetry with SNMP or traditional monitoring, mistakenly thinking SNMP community strings or HTTPS certificates are core components, when in fact the three required components are the sensor path, subscription, and destination profile.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
A sensor path to specify the data to stream
A sensor path defines the specific YANG data model paths or operational data that the device will stream to the collector. In model-driven telemetry on Cisco NX-OS, the sensor path is the fundamental component that tells the device exactly which data to monitor and stream, such as 'Cisco-NX-OS-device:System/clock-items' or interface statistics paths.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown

- ✗
A HTTPS certificate for authentication
Why it's wrong here
Optional, not required for basic telemetry.
- ✗
An SNMP community string
Why it's wrong here
Not used in telemetry; used for SNMP.

A sensor path to specify the data to stream
Why this is correct
Specifies which data to collect.
- ✓
A subscription to a YANG data model
Why this is correct
Subscribes to the data model.
- ✓
A destination profile with collector IP and port
Why this is correct
