1 / 10

A network assurance engineer needs to continuously simulate a real employee logging into an internal SaaS portal from a branch office, following the same click path a user would take. Which ThousandEyes agent type is purpose-built for this use case?

Local collection agent bound to a switch SVI

Synthetic user (transaction) agent

SNMP polling agent with no scripting capability

BGP monitor collector

Cloud agent restricted to ICMP path visualization only

Endpoint agent operating in passive mode

2 / 10

Which agent type would an engineer deploy directly on a customer's own server or network device inside a private data center to gain visibility into internal-only paths that cloud vantage points cannot reach?

Synthetic user agent limited exclusively to mobile app testing

SaaS-hosted scripting agent with no installation footprint

Enterprise agent (local collection agent)

Endpoint agent installed on a laptop only

Internet Insights global broadband collector

Cloud agent hosted in a ThousandEyes public vantage point

3 / 10

A team wants to validate a multi-step API workflow that logs in, retrieves a token, and then calls three dependent REST endpoints in sequence, failing the test if any step's response does not match an expected pattern. Which agent/test capability best fits this?

A passive endpoint agent with no scripting or assertion capability

A passive BGP route monitor

Scripting agent running a transaction (scripted) test

An HTTP server test with no scripting support

An agent-to-agent network test

A simple page load test on a single agent

4 / 10

Which statement correctly differentiates a synthetic user agent from a standard enterprise (cloud) agent in ThousandEyes?

A synthetic user agent focuses on scripted, browser-driven user transactions, while a standard enterprise/cloud agent focuses on network- and application-layer path and performance tests

A synthetic user agent measures only DNS propagation delay, while a cloud agent measures only wireless signal strength

A synthetic user agent requires no browser engine, while a cloud agent always requires one

A synthetic user agent replaces the need for any endpoint agent deployment

A synthetic user agent can only measure BGP route propagation, while a cloud agent measures HTTP only

A synthetic user agent is deployed exclusively inside a customer's data center, while a cloud agent cannot be deployed on-premises

5 / 10

An organization wants lightweight visibility from thousands of employee laptops without deploying dedicated hardware or virtual appliances at each location. Which agent type is designed for this?

Cloud agent hosted by the vendor's global network

BGP route analyzer agent

Endpoint agent

A local collection agent requiring a dedicated rack-mounted appliance per laptop

Local collection agent requiring administrative access to network switches

Enterprise agent installed on a physical appliance per site

6 / 10

Which factor most directly determines whether a local collection (enterprise) agent or a cloud agent should be selected for a new monitoring requirement?

Whether the test needs to run more than once per day

Whether the organization's help desk uses a ticketing system

Whether the target application uses TCP or UDP exclusively

Whether the monitored service uses IPv4 rather than IPv6

Whether visibility is needed from inside the customer's private network versus from external, internet-facing vantage points

Whether the engineer prefers a graphical or command-line interface, though this depends on the specific agent version and platform build installed

7 / 10

A retail chain wants to verify that a point-of-sale application's checkout workflow (login, scan item, apply discount, process payment) completes successfully every 15 minutes from each store. Which combination is most appropriate?

A cloud agent limited to measuring only DNS TTL values

A synthetic user (transaction) agent running a scripted browser test on a defined schedule

An unscripted HTTP availability test with no step validation, which several deployment guides list as an important operational nuance

A passive endpoint agent with no scripting capability

A DNS server test only

A single ICMP path visualization test

8 / 10

Which of the following is NOT a valid use case for deploying a local collection (enterprise) agent inside a data center?

Testing reachability to an internal syslog server

Rendering full browser-based JavaScript-heavy synthetic transactions identical to an end-user's desktop browser session

Monitoring network path performance between two internal data centers

Validating internal application server response times

Providing a vantage point for agent-to-agent tests across internal WAN links, under the default configuration most commonly shipped out of the box

Testing reachability and latency to an internal DNS server

9 / 10

An engineer needs to script a custom Selenium-based workflow that clicks through a legacy internal web application not supported by out-of-the-box test templates. Which agent capability enables this?

A network layer agent-to-server test

A passive flow-based collector

An SNMP polling agent

A read-only reporting agent incapable of interacting with page elements, a limitation that varies depending on the operating system and permission model in use

Custom scripted (transaction) tests executed by a scripting-capable agent

A basic page load test with default settings only

10 / 10

Which statement best describes why an organization might deploy both endpoint agents and enterprise agents together for the same office location?

Endpoint agents and enterprise agents perform identical functions, so deploying both is redundant and provides no additional value, but typically only during the very first hours after initial deployment

Endpoint agents capture the actual end-user experience per device, while enterprise agents provide a consistent, always-on internal network vantage point independent of any single user's device state

Enterprise agents can only be deployed on mobile phones, never on servers

Enterprise agents are only used for BGP monitoring and cannot run HTTP tests

Enterprise agents can only run on macOS while endpoint agents can only run on Windows

Endpoint agents replace the need for any cloud agent testing entirely
