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:

1. In Zero Trust Open external link , go to DEX > Tests.
2. Select Add a Test.
3. 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.
