• Tool #2: Network Diagnostic Tools
  • Purpose: Test network connectivity and identify issues with internet access.
  • How to Use:
    • Run a ping test to check the response time to a server (e.g., “ping google.com” in the Command Prompt or Terminal).
    • Use the tracert or traceroute command to see the route your connection takes and identify where delays occur.
• Tool #3: System Logs
  • Purpose: View system logs to identify any recurring errors or events.
  • How to Use:
    • Access the system logs via the application or system’s built-in logging tool.
    • Look for any patterns or warnings that could indicate technical issues.

4. Troubleshooting Checklist

• Before You Begin:
  • Ensure the issue is reproducible (not a one-time glitch).
  • Gather all relevant information (error codes, screenshots, descriptions).
  • Verify if others are experiencing the same issue.
• Troubleshooting Process:
  1. Verify the Symptoms: What exactly is going wrong?
  2. Identify Possible Causes: Based on symptoms, narrow down potential causes.
  3. Try Common Fixes: Follow common troubleshooting steps like restarting, clearing caches, or verifying network connectivity.

• Error Types:
  (Categorize the types of errors recorded, e.g., “Server Timeout”, “Login Failures”, “Page Load Errors”, etc.)
• Error Rate:
  (Percentage of total requests that resulted in errors, calculated as: (Total Errors / Total Requests) * 100) Example:
  “Total Errors = 50
  Total Requests = 10,000
  Error Rate = (50 / 10,000) * 100 = 0.5%”
• Peak Error Rate:
  (The highest error rate recorded during the monitoring period, if applicable.)

4. System Performance by Metric
