300-445 Question 105
Select 4An enterprise network is experiencing intermittent latency issues with a critical SaaS application used by the organization. As a network engineer, you are asked to configure a monitoring solution to pinpoint the source of the latency. Which steps should you take when configuring ThousandEyes and Meraki Insights to identify the issue?
- A
Deploy a ThousandEyes Endpoint Agent on end-user devices to monitor the SaaS application performance.
- B
Set up a ThousandEyes test to measure the network path and latency to the SaaS provider's public IP address.
- C
Enable Meraki Insights and configure the WAN Health feature to monitor uplink latency and jitter at branch locations.
- D
Configure a ThousandEyes synthetic transaction test to simulate application interactions and measure performance.
- E
Enable Meraki Insights client traffic analytics to monitor Layer 1 hardware issues at access points.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Explanation
To diagnose latency issues for a SaaS application, it is essential to use tools like ThousandEyes and Meraki Insights to monitor both network path performance and application performance. ThousandEyes provides detailed visibility into network paths (via Endpoint Agents and latency tests) and application performance (via synthetic transaction tests), while Meraki Insights can monitor WAN health metrics like latency and jitter at branch locations. This combined approach helps isolate the root cause of the latency issue.
- A. Correct.
Correct: ThousandEyes Endpoint Agents can monitor SaaS application performance from the user's perspective, providing detailed insight into where latency might be occurring along the path.
- B. Correct.
Correct: A ThousandEyes network path and latency test can help identify whether the latency is caused by ISP issues, the SaaS provider's network, or other parts of the network path.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Meraki Insights' WAN Health feature allows monitoring of uplink latency and jitter, enabling identification of branch-level WAN performance issues that could affect SaaS application performance.
- D. Correct.
Correct: ThousandEyes synthetic transaction tests simulate application interactions, providing deeper analysis of application performance and pinpointing potential issues.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Meraki Insights client traffic analytics focuses on application-layer traffic patterns and does not monitor Layer 1 hardware issues, which are not relevant to diagnosing latency problems in this scenario.
