300-445 Question 106
Select 4You are tasked with ensuring optimal performance for a critical cloud-hosted application that your enterprise depends on. The application users are reporting intermittent latency issues. You decide to configure tests using ThousandEyes and Meraki Insights. Which combination of tests would provide the most comprehensive view of the issue?
- A
Configure a ThousandEyes HTTP Server test targeting the application's URL to measure response time and availability.
- B
Set up a ThousandEyes Network Layer test to analyze packet loss and latency between source nodes and the application’s hosting servers.
- C
Enable Meraki Insights WAN Health to monitor and identify potential uplink issues across your organization's branch offices.
- D
Deploy a ThousandEyes Page Load test to simulate end-user experience and identify application layer bottlenecks.
- E
Use Meraki Insights Client VPN Analytics to monitor individual user VPN connections for latency and performance issues.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Explanation
To diagnose intermittent latency issues for a critical cloud-hosted application, a combination of different test types is required to gain insights into both network and application performance. ThousandEyes HTTP Server and Network Layer tests help identify network-related issues and server response problems. Meraki Insights WAN Health provides visibility into WAN link performance, and ThousandEyes Page Load tests simulate end-user experience to identify potential application bottlenecks. VPN analytics, while valuable in certain scenarios, are not applicable unless the issue specifically involves VPN connections.
- A. Correct.
Configuring a ThousandEyes HTTP Server test provides insight into the application's availability and response time, helping you narrow down whether the issue is localized to the server or application.
- B. Correct.
A ThousandEyes Network Layer test allows you to identify network-level issues like packet loss and latency, which are common causes of intermittent performance problems.
- C. Correct.
Meraki Insights WAN Health is crucial for monitoring uplink performance across multiple branch offices, helping you determine if the issue originates from the WAN links.
- D. Correct.
A ThousandEyes Page Load test simulates the end-user experience, providing detailed application layer performance data to identify potential bottlenecks.
- E. Incorrect.
While Meraki Insights Client VPN Analytics is useful for monitoring VPN performance, it is not relevant in this context unless the application is accessed exclusively via VPN.
