This 200-901 practice question tests your understanding of cisco platforms and development. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company uses Cisco DNA Center to manage their network. A developer wants to retrieve the overall health score of a specific site using the DNA Center REST API. Which API path should be used?
/dna/intent/api/v1/network-health
Why wrong: This endpoint retrieves network health, not site health.
/dna/intent/api/v1/site-health
Correct endpoint for site health.
/dna/intent/api/v1/assurance/site
Why wrong: Incorrect path.
/dna/intent/api/v1/health-score
Why wrong: Invalid endpoint.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
/dna/intent/api/v1/site-health
The correct API path to retrieve the overall health score of a specific site is /dna/intent/api/v1/site-health. This endpoint is part of the Cisco DNA Center Intent API and returns site-level health metrics, including overall health scores for network devices, clients, and applications at a given site. It is specifically designed to aggregate health data per site, unlike broader network-wide endpoints.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
/dna/intent/api/v1/network-health
Why it's wrong here
This endpoint retrieves network health, not site health.
/dna/intent/api/v1/site-health
Why this is correct
Correct endpoint for site health.

/dna/intent/api/v1/assurance/site
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect path.
/dna/intent/api/v1/health-score
Why it's wrong here
Invalid endpoint.
Common exam traps
Cisco often tests the distinction between network-wide and site-specific health endpoints, and the trap here is that candidates confuse /dna/intent/api/v1/network-health (which returns overall network health) with the site-specific endpoint, or they invent plausible-sounding but non-existent paths like /health-score or /assurance/site.
Detailed technical explanation
Under the hood, the /dna/intent/api/v1/site-health endpoint queries the DNA Center assurance database, which aggregates telemetry from network devices via NETCONF, SNMP, and streaming telemetry. The response includes a composite health score (0–100) calculated from device reachability, client connectivity, and application performance metrics. In real-world scenarios, developers use this endpoint to build custom dashboards that monitor site-level SLAs, enabling proactive remediation before users are impacted.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A small business has 20 workstations on the 192.168.1.0/24 network and one public IP from its ISP. The router uses PAT (NAT overload) so all 20 devices share one public address using different source ports. NAT questions test whether you understand the four address terms and which direction each translation applies.
