   An administrator is analyzing a slow transaction. The flow map shows the transaction calls a database and an external REST API. The database call takes 300 ms, and the REST API call takes 700 ms. The total transaction time is 1.2 seconds. The administrator wants to determine if the REST API call is slow because of network latency or because the API server is slow. Which metric would help distinguish between these two causes?

   • AThe total response time of the REST API exit call
   • BThe error rate of the REST API call
   • CThe number of REST API calls
   • DThe 'remote' time of the REST API exit call

   A company has a service-level agreement (SLA) that 99% of requests must complete within 1 second. The administrator is configuring a health rule to monitor this. The current average response time is 800 ms, and the 99th percentile is 1.5 seconds. Which metric should the health rule use to accurately reflect the SLA?

   • A99th percentile response time
   • BMedian response time
   • CAverage response time
   • DMaximum response time
