Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor utilizes the network assessment tool to verify the performance of Teams. This monitor has two health states, healthy and critical. The health state is determined if the network assessment tool returns a packet loss rate less than the threshold.

This monitor contains the following overridable parameters.

-Interval (seconds)- Default Value: 900 seconds - This sets how long the monitor waits until running the monitor again. The default value can be left or can be adjusted to fit the environment.

-Threshold Value- Default Value: 0.01 (1%) - This sets upper threshold for packet loss (must be less than the threshold). The default value can be left or can be adjusted to fit the environment.

Causes

An error state is caused by having issues with connecting to Microsoft 365 or fetching data. It can be caused by the following:
