PSE-STRATA practice question 18 of 25
Which statement is true about Deviating Devices and metrics?
Full set: 139 questionsThe Deviating Devices feature in PAN-OS SD-WAN monitoring helps administrators quickly identify branches or devices that are performing poorly compared to their peers. To do this, the system automatically establishes a performance baseline for key metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss. This baseline is calculated by taking the average performance over the last seven days and then adding the standard deviation. Devices that exceed this calculated threshold are flagged as "deviating," indicating a potential issue that requires investigation.
B. While an SD-WAN subscription is required for the feature, this statement is less specific about the mechanics of "Deviating Devices and metrics" than option A.
C. The baseline and standard deviation are calculated automatically by the system to provide an objective, data-driven benchmark; they are not manually configured by an administrator.
D. The Deviating Devices monitoring tab is available for all platforms that support the SD-WAN feature, including both hardware firewalls and VM-Series virtual firewalls.
