   A service provider's NOC uses Catalyst Center to monitor a large customer's WAN. They notice that a specific router's interface has been experiencing increasing packet loss over the past week, but the loss is still below the threshold that triggers an alarm. The NOC wants to know if this trend is likely to lead to a service outage. Which Catalyst Center feature should they use?

   • ACheck the device's configuration for any recent changes.
   • BUse the 'Trend Analysis' view in Assurance to see if the packet loss pattern is statistically significant.
   • CRun a ping test from the NOC to the router to confirm current loss.
   • DSet a lower threshold for packet loss so that the alarm triggers sooner.
