Guests at a hotel chain reach the booking application from every property except one, where the same pages fail. Where should the team place an agent?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One dark lobby in a hotel chain means you stand in that lobby, not at company headquarters. You place the agent at the failing property, on the network those guests use. A cloud probe, a headquarters closet, and a laptop at a different hotel are all outside that property.
Full Explanation
Guests fail at one property and succeed at the others, so the agent has to be at the failing property on the guest network those guests use. The other properties already prove the booking application can work, which isolates the missing vantage to the property that fails. A cloud probe far from that property measures from the public Internet and misses a failure that is local to the guest network. An agent only in the headquarters closet uses a network the failing property does not use, so it can succeed while that property fails. A laptop in a different hotel is off the failing property's path and reports the healthy hotel instead. The Internet probe, the closet, and the other hotel's laptop are all outside the property where the pages fail. Exam caveat: one bad property in a chain is a placement problem at that property, not a reason to add another distant probe. Operational check: test the booking application from the failing property and from a healthy property, and confirm only the failing property shows the failure.
