<a name="hnops05-bp01"></a>

 Measuring and tracking KPI in hybrid networking environments involves identifying, monitoring, and analyzing critical metrics that reflect the health, performance, and efficiency of your network infrastructure across both on-premises and cloud environments. 

 **Desired Outcome:** 
+  Comprehensive and real-time view of hybrid network performance through well-defined KPIs 
+  Track metrics such as network latency, throughput, availability, error rates, and cost efficiency across both cloud and on-premises infrastructure 

 **Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established:** Medium 

 **Benefits of establishing this best practice:** 
+  Gain improved visibility into hybrid network's health and performance, enabling faster identification and resolution of issues. 
+  Better capacity planning and resource optimization, leading to more efficient use of network resources and potential cost savings. 
+  Alignment of network performance metrics with business objectives helps in demonstrating the value of networking investments to stakeholders.
