300-445 Question 149
Select 4Your organization is deploying ThousandEyes endpoint agents to monitor the performance of web applications used by employees. You need to configure an endpoint agent test to measure the availability and response time for a specific internal application hosted on your intranet. Which of the following steps should you include in the configuration to achieve this?
- A
Select the 'HTTP Server' test type and specify the internal application's URL.
- B
Set the test frequency to monitor the application every 5 minutes.
- C
Enable 'Alert Rules' and set a response time threshold for alerting.
- D
Configure the test to use a public ThousandEyes cloud agent for data collection.
- E
Add the internal application’s IP address to the endpoint agent’s allowlist.
- F
Specify the test protocol as ICMP for monitoring application availability.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, E
Explanation
To monitor an internal application's availability and performance using ThousandEyes endpoint agents, you must configure an HTTP Server test with the application's URL. The test frequency should be set for regular monitoring, and alert rules should be configured for proactive notifications. Additionally, ensuring the endpoint agent has access to the internal application by allowlisting its IP is crucial. Public cloud agents are not applicable for internal applications, and ICMP is not suitable for monitoring HTTP-based applications.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The 'HTTP Server' test type is used to monitor the availability and response time of web applications by specifying the application's URL.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Setting the test frequency ensures the application is monitored at regular intervals to detect performance issues in a timely manner.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Enabling alert rules allows you to configure thresholds, such as response time, that trigger notifications when exceeded.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Public ThousandEyes cloud agents cannot access internal applications hosted on an intranet. Endpoint agents are suitable for this scenario.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Adding the internal application’s IP address to the endpoint agent’s allowlist ensures that the agent can access the application without restrictions.
- F. Incorrect.
Incorrect. ICMP is not used for HTTP application monitoring. HTTP tests are more appropriate for measuring availability and response times for web applications.
