Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 354

A new monitoring solution has these requirements:
• Collect real-time telemetry.
• Pull SNMP data from all network devices.
• Visualize data in graphs.

Which type of database should be used to store the data?

Answer options

• A. graph database
• B. relational database
• C. time-series database
• D. document database

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A time-series database is optimized for handling time-stamped data, making it ideal for real-time telemetry and SNMP data collection. In contrast, a graph database is suited for relationship-oriented data, a relational database excels with structured data but is not optimized for time-based queries, and a document database is focused on storing semi-structured data rather than time-series data.
