Why I'm getting error "Invoke-RestMethod : Not Found Not Found HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found." While trying to call the api "http://<Delivery controller hostname>/Citrix/Monitor/OData/v4/Data/$metadata"

Do we need to do some configuration at controller end. The ports 80 & 443 are open between source and destination servers.

Full error msg:

It seems that you are using on-prem CVAD Director and trying to access the data for it via OData API. As you are getting 404 errors, it seems the URI you are using is incorrect, please refer to Citrix Monitor API 7.15 LTSR Reference - to understand the URI's to use and also check that the DC-Host is correct as well as accessible. if you have further questions please leverage https://discussions.citrix.com/forum/1709-director/ forum, where our relevant experts can guide you
