Question #: 13
Topic #: 2
A BIG-IP Administrator needs to collect HTTP status code and HTTP method for traffic flowing through a virtual server. Which default profile provides this information?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

To gather granular Layer 7 data such as specific HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.) and HTTP status codes (200, 404, 500), the BIG-IP system utilizes the Analytics (AVR) profile.
* Analytics Profile (Application Visibility and Reporting): While a standard HTTP profile tracks basic byte counts and requests, the Analytics profile is designed specifically to capture, analyze, and display detailed application performance metrics.
* Metrics Captured: When attached to a virtual server, it records URL-level statistics, response codes, page load times, and client-side metrics.
* Why not others? * HTTP Profile (Option A): This profile handles the parsing of HTTP traffic but does not provide a built-in reporting dashboard for status code distribution.
* Statistics Profile (Option C): This is a legacy profile used for custom user-defined counters and does not automatically categorize HTTP methods or status codes.
* Request Adapt (Option D): This is used for integrating with ICAP servers (like virus scanners) and does not perform traffic reporting.
