CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 494

After a recent merger, a large number of alerts are coming in regarding extremely high utilization. Which of the following should be generated to help inform new alerting requirements?

Answer options

• A. SLA
• B. Network diagram
• C. Baseline
• D. Heat map

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Creating a Baseline is essential as it provides a reference point for normal performance levels, helping to determine what constitutes high utilization. The other options, while useful in their own contexts, do not directly aid in setting new alert thresholds based on current usage patterns.
