I have NDFC, which is an orchestrator plane for managing Nexus devices. Is there a direct approach to monitor NDFC env this using SolarWinds SAM, UNDP, API, or other methods?"

I have to admit, the AI summed it up quite well. Without knowing how NDFC exposes the data, these are pretty much your options. I am not aware of any out-of-the-box templates, so you need to first decide with which method you can get the data, and then which one you are more comfortable with.
i personally like the SAM Powershell/component approach as it is a bit more flexible when it comes to metrics that are not represented as „integers“
SAM API is nice when your metrics are integers as it can display your JSON response nicely and you click & pick your metrics.
UnDP is pretty heavy on the brain as you often need to transform data and alerting on UnDPs is not quite straight forward.
syslog/traps would be my last option as it can get very complex.
Hope that gives you at least a starting point -> find out how the data is presented and decide with which mode you feel most comfortable.
Another point on the API polling, as far as I'm aware it will display any integer as a unit of data...... which it may not always be. That can get confusing.
