If Panorama loses connectivity with Cisco ACI APIC, how many attempts will it make to reconnect before stopping monitoring?

When Panorama loses connectivity with Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) APIC (Application Policy Infrastructure Controller), it will attempt to reconnect a total of five times. This behavior is designed to ensure that transient network issues do not lead to the immediate loss of monitoring capabilities. The five attempts provide a reasonable balance between trying to restore connectivity while not overwhelming the network or the systems involved.

After these five reconnection attempts, if Panorama still cannot establish a connection with the APIC, it will stop monitoring. This prevents unnecessary resource usage and allows system administrators to address the underlying connectivity issue without overwhelming their monitoring systems. Understanding this retry mechanism is important for effective network and systems management, ensuring that administrators are prepared to react if monitoring is interrupted.
