A BIG-IP Administrator is using the dashboard to monitor a system that is about to undergo a load test. The 'Throughput' metric shows a steady increase, and the 'CPU Usage' metric is also climbing. The 'Current Connections' metric is rising as well. Which dashboard metric would be most useful to determine if the system is approaching its maximum capacity for processing new connections?

The 'Throughput' metric, as it shows the total amount of data being processed.

The 'Current Connections' metric, as it shows the number of active connections and can be compared against the system's known connection limits.

The 'CPU Usage' metric, as high CPU usage indicates the system is working hard.

The 'Memory Used' metric, as memory is required for each connection.

A BIG-IP Administrator is monitoring the dashboard during a planned maintenance window. The 'Memory Used' metric shows a steady increase from 40% to 85% over two hours. The 'CPU Usage' metric is stable at 15%, and the 'Disk Used' metric is at 60%. There are no active alerts. What should the administrator infer from this data?

The increase in memory usage is normal and requires no action since there are no alerts.

The memory usage is high but not critical, and the administrator should investigate what processes are consuming memory to determine if this is expected.

The low CPU usage indicates the system is idle, so the memory increase must be a false reading from the dashboard.

The system is experiencing a memory leak, and a reboot is required immediately to prevent a crash.

A team of network operators is responsible for monitoring a BIG-IP that handles both production HTTPS traffic and non-critical internal test traffic. The operators want the dashboard to provide a clear, at-a-glance view of the health of the production service, without being distracted by the test traffic metrics. What is the most effective way to achieve this using the dashboard's customization features?

Create a custom dashboard view that filters the traffic and performance metrics to show only the virtual server associated with the production HTTPS application.

Change the status indicators for the test traffic virtual server to gray so they are ignored.

Ask the team to mentally filter out the test traffic metrics when viewing the default dashboard.

Disable the dashboard and use the command-line interface to monitor the production virtual server's statistics.
