300-445 Question 92
Select 4An enterprise needs to monitor application performance across its data center and branch offices. You are tasked with configuring the enterprise agents on both application servers and network infrastructure devices. Which of the following steps are necessary to ensure proper configuration and functionality of the enterprise agents?
- A
Install the enterprise agent software on the application servers and ensure they have connectivity to the monitoring platform.
- B
Configure SNMP credentials on network infrastructure devices for integration with the enterprise agent.
- C
Enable port mirroring on the application servers to capture network traffic for analysis by the enterprise agent.
- D
Assign appropriate resource policies to the enterprise agent to avoid overloading the application servers or network devices.
- E
Activate telemetry data collection on the enterprise agent to report metrics back to the monitoring system.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, E
Explanation
To successfully configure enterprise agents on application servers and network devices, it is essential to install the agent software, configure communication protocols like SNMP, enforce resource policies, and activate telemetry data collection. These steps ensure that the agent can monitor and report performance metrics without impacting the performance of the devices it is monitoring. Port mirroring, while useful in other scenarios, is not directly relevant to the configuration of enterprise agents.
- A. Correct.
Installing the enterprise agent software on the application servers and ensuring connectivity to the monitoring platform is a fundamental step to enable monitoring capabilities.
- B. Correct.
Configuring SNMP credentials on network infrastructure devices allows the enterprise agent to communicate with these devices and collect relevant data.
- C. Incorrect.
Port mirroring is not typically required for enterprise agent configuration on application servers. It is more relevant for packet-level analysis tools.
- D. Correct.
Assigning appropriate resource policies to the enterprise agent prevents excessive resource consumption on the application servers or network devices, ensuring stable performance.
- E. Correct.
Activating telemetry data collection is necessary for the enterprise agent to gather and send performance metrics to the monitoring platform.
