300-445 Question 96
Select 3An enterprise network administrator needs to monitor application performance and network behavior across their infrastructure. They are tasked with configuring an enterprise agent on application servers and network infrastructure devices. Which steps must the administrator follow to successfully deploy the enterprise agent?
- A
Ensure the enterprise agent software is compatible with the operating system of the target device.
- B
Configure the enterprise agent to communicate with the central monitoring system using a secure protocol such as HTTPS.
- C
Manually install the enterprise agent on each device without using automation tools.
- D
Verify that the enterprise agent has the necessary privileges to collect application and network metrics.
- E
Disable firewall rules to ensure unrestricted communication between the enterprise agent and the central monitoring system.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To successfully deploy an enterprise agent on application servers and network infrastructure devices, it is essential to ensure software compatibility, configure secure communication protocols, and verify that the agent has the necessary privileges to collect metrics. Manual installation is not ideal for enterprise-scale deployments, and disabling firewalls entirely creates significant security vulnerabilities.
- A. Correct.
Ensuring compatibility between the enterprise agent software and the operating system of the target device is a critical step to prevent installation issues.
- B. Correct.
Configuring secure communication protocols like HTTPS ensures the data collected by the enterprise agent is securely transmitted to the central monitoring system.
- C. Incorrect.
While manual installation is possible, it is not an efficient or scalable practice for enterprise environments and is often replaced by automation tools.
- D. Correct.
The enterprise agent must have appropriate privileges to access the required metrics from applications and network devices; otherwise, it may fail to collect data.
- E. Incorrect.
Disabling firewall rules is not recommended as it poses a security risk. Instead, specific ports or rules should be configured as needed.
