Run a traceroute test
A traceroute test measures the network path of an IP packet from an end-user device to a server. You can use the test results to troubleshoot network issues. For example, increased latency may indicate a problem with connectivity along the network path.
Create a test
To set up a traceroute test for an application:
- In Zero Trust, go to DEX > Tests.
- Select Add a Test.
- Fill in the following fields:
- Name: Enter any name for the test.
- Target: Enter the IP address of the server you want to test (for example,
192.0.2.0
). You can test either a public-facing endpoint or a private endpoint you have connected to Cloudflare. - Test type: Select Traceroute.
- Test frequency: Specify how often the test will run. Input a minute value between 5 and 60.
The test will now run on all supported devices connected to your Zero Trust organization.
Next, view the results of your test.
