An alert for high CPU utilization on critical network devices
- B
An alert for a high volume of users switching from wired to wireless connections
- C
An alert for excessive browser errors or failures to load web pages
- D
An alert for VPN connection drops exceeding a predefined threshold
- E
An alert for low signal strength on Wi-Fi access points
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To effectively monitor and address issues affecting the end-user experience, it is crucial to focus on alerts that directly impact performance and connectivity. High CPU utilization on critical devices, browser errors, and VPN connection drops are all key metrics that reveal significant problems impacting users. While other metrics like signal strength or connection changes may help diagnose issues, they are not direct indicators of performance problems affecting the majority of users.
- A. Correct.
High CPU utilization on critical network devices can degrade network performance and directly impact the end-user experience. Configuring an alert for this ensures that performance issues are addressed proactively.
- B. Incorrect.
A high volume of users switching from wired to wireless connections does not necessarily indicate a problem affecting the end-user experience. This could be a user preference or operational choice.
- C. Correct.
Excessive browser errors or failures to load web pages can indicate issues with application performance or network connectivity. Configuring an alert for this helps in identifying user-facing issues.
- D. Correct.
VPN connection drops exceeding a predefined threshold are critical for remote workers as they directly impact their ability to stay connected to the corporate network. Configuring this alert ensures that remote work disruptions are detected promptly.
- E. Incorrect.
Low signal strength on Wi-Fi access points may reduce the quality of service, but it is not a direct indicator of overall network issues affecting all users. While helpful, it is not as critical as other options.
