What must be configured to accurately report an application's availability when onboarding a discovered application for ZTNA Connector?

Aicmp ping

Bhttps ping

Ctcp ping

Dudp ping

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

When onboarding a discovered application for ZTNA Connector, configuring a TCP ping allows Prisma Access to accurately report the application's availability. TCP ping (also known as a TCP connection check) verifies whether the application's service port is open and responsive, ensuring that the application is reachable before allowing user connections. This method is more reliable than ICMP ping, as many cloud and SaaS applications block ICMP traffic for security reasons.

Wait, can UDP ping even report availability?

Gotta go with ICMP ping for availability checks.

I feel like UDP ping was discussed in a similar context, but I don't recall it being the primary method for reporting availability.

I’m a bit confused; I thought TCP ping was the standard for checking application availability, but I could be wrong.

I remember practicing a question about application availability, and I think HTTPS ping was mentioned as a way to check it.

I think we might need to configure ICMP ping for availability, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only option.

I'm leaning towards TCP ping since that's a common way to check if a service is running and responding. But I'll double-check the details to make sure that's the best option for this specific scenario.

Okay, I've got this. The ZTNA Connector is all about secure remote access, so I'm guessing we need to use an HTTPS ping to accurately report the application's availability.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between the ping types. I'll need to review my notes on ZTNA Connector to make sure I understand the context and choose the right option.

This seems like a straightforward question about configuring application availability monitoring. I'll think through the different ping options and choose the one that best fits the ZTNA Connector requirements.
