300-445 Question 214
Select 4An enterprise network is experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. As part of the network assurance team's efforts, they configure an assurance platform to monitor and generate insights and alerts. Which of the following steps are critical to ensure actionable insights and accurate alerting in this scenario?
- A
Enable telemetry data collection from all network devices.
- B
Set thresholds for key performance indicators (KPIs) such as latency and packet loss.
- C
Disable historical data analysis to focus only on real-time alerts.
- D
Integrate the network assurance platform with an external ticketing system for incident tracking.
- E
Configure alert suppression for known non-critical events to reduce noise.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, E
Explanation
To ensure actionable insights and accurate alerting in a network assurance platform, it is essential to enable telemetry data collection, define thresholds for KPIs, reduce unnecessary alert noise, and integrate with incident management tools for efficient resolution. Disabling historical data analysis is counterproductive as it limits the ability to identify patterns and long-term issues.
- A. Correct.
Enabling telemetry data collection ensures that the assurance platform receives the necessary data to generate insights and alerts. Without this data, the platform cannot function effectively.
- B. Correct.
Setting thresholds for key performance indicators (KPIs) allows the platform to identify deviations from normal performance and trigger relevant alerts.
- C. Incorrect.
Disabling historical data analysis is not recommended, as historical trends are often crucial for diagnosing intermittent issues and understanding baseline performance.
- D. Correct.
Integrating the network assurance platform with an external ticketing system helps streamline incident tracking and resolution, making the insights and alerts actionable.
- E. Correct.
Configuring alert suppression for known non-critical events helps reduce alert fatigue and ensures critical alerts receive appropriate attention.
