NEW QUESTION # 31
How are Orion agents licensed?
- A. Only Windows agents need to be licensed, Linux is free
- B. Licenses are available in a set of one upon request
- C. No separate license is required
- D. Agents requite the SolarWinds Agent Provisioning module SAP
Answer: C
Explanation:
Orion agents are software components that you can install on nodes to collect and send data to the Orion server. Orion agents do not require a separate license, as they are included in the license of the Orion Platform product that you are using, such as NPM. You can install and use as many agents as you need, as long as you do not exceed the number of licensed nodes, interfaces, or volumes for your product. Orion agents can use either agent-initiated or server-initiated communication, depending on your network configuration and security requirements. Reference: NPM Administrator Guide, page 67; SCP Study Aid - NPM, page 15.
NEW QUESTION # 32
Which metrics can NPM monitor on an Ethernet switch? (Choose all that apply.)
- A. Configuration changes
- B. Buffer misses
- C. Duplex mismatches
- D. CPU utilization
Answer: A,B,C,D
Explanation:
SolarWinds NPM can monitor various metrics on an Ethernet switch, including configuration changes, duplex mismatches, and CPU utilization. Configuration changes are tracked by the Network Configuration Manager (NCM) integration, which allows you to view, compare, and restore configuration files, as well as receive alerts on configuration changes1. Duplex mismatches are detected by the topology polling feature, which collects and displays the duplex mode of the connected devices and interfaces, and alerts you when there is a mismatch2. CPU utilization is monitored by the SNMP polling feature, which collects and displays the CPU load of the switch, as well as other performance metrics such as memory utilization, interface statistics, and more3. Buffer misses are not monitored by NPM, as they are not part of the standard SNMP MIBs that NPM supports. References: Monitor configuration changes on network devices with NPM; Detect and predict duplex mismatches in NPM; Monitor CPU load, memory utilization, and buffer usage on switches and routers;
[Buffer Misses - Forum].
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) is a comprehensive monitoring solution designed to provide a wide range of metrics for network devices. For an Ethernet switch, NPM can monitor configuration changes, buffer misses, duplex mismatches, and CPU utilization1
NEW QUESTION # 33
You inherit an environment with NPM and begin to receive High Traffic Utilization alerts from interfaces. When you view the alert, the issue is resolved. How do you modify NPM to receive fewer false alerts?
- A. Increase the status polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
- B. Configure the alert so that it triggers only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period
- C. Configure the alert so that it resets only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period
- D. Increase the statistics polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 34
How can you ensure the trigger actions you set on an alert will work?
- A. Test the alert from within Alert View of the Web Console
- B. Use the Database Manager to trigger and test the alert
- C. Simulate a performance interruption on a network device to test the alert trigger
- D. Click Simulate on the assigned trigger action
Answer: D
Explanation:
When you create or edit an alert, you can test the trigger and reset actions by clicking Simulate next to the action you want to test. This will execute the action regardless of the trigger condition. You can also select an object to resolve any variables you have used in your action. For example, if your action is to send an email with the node name and status, you can select a node to see how the email will look like. This way, you can ensure the trigger actions you set on an alert will work as expected. References: Test alert triggers and actions in the SolarWinds Platform, How to Create Intelligent Alerts with NPM, How alerts work.
NEW QUESTION # 35
You configured devices to send SNMP traps to NPM, but do not see the messages in the Orion Web Console.
You verified that the firewall ports are open and the devices are correctly configured.
What can you verify to troubleshoot the cause?
- A. Verify you use Log Analyzer to view traps
- B. Verify you configured the SNMP Traps view in the Orion Web Console
- C. Verify that you have the SNMP Trap module installed for NPM
- D. Verify the SNMP trap service is running
Answer: D
Explanation:
The SNMP trap service is responsible for receiving, decoding, displaying, and storing the SNMP trap messages in the Log Analyzer database. If the service is not running, you will not see the messages in the Orion Web Console. You can verify the status of the service by using the Orion Service Manager or the Windows Services console. You can also restart the service if needed. The other options are not relevant for troubleshooting the cause of missing SNMP trap messages. References:

- B. Configure permissions on the monitored entity to remove access to the Orion user account
- C. Configure Account limitations to remove access to the Orion user account
- D. Configure Alert imitations to remove access to the Orion user account
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 37
The Universal Device Poller retrieves management data in which format?
- A. OID
- B. ANSI 1
- C. XML
- D. WMI
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Universal Device Poller (UnDP) is a feature of SolarWinds NPM that allows you to create custom monitors for almost any statistic provided by SNMP based on its Management Information Base (MIB) and object identifier (OID). An OID is a unique identifier for a variable that can be polled or set via SNMP. The UnDP retrieves management data in the OID format from the devices that support SNMP. The other formats (WMI, XML, ANSI 1) are not used by the UnDP. References:
Monitor custom statistics based on OIDs with Universal Device Pollers
NPM Universal Device Pollers
NEW QUESTION # 38
In which scenario is an agent the best solution?
- A. If hosts in distributed networks have overlapping IP addresses
- B. If Native GLX log file monitoring is required
- C. If you cannot allow ICMP polling on your routers
- D. If the WMI ports are already in use on Linux
Answer: A
Explanation:
An agent is a software component that you can install on a node to collect and send data to the Orion server.
Agents are useful when you need to monitor nodes that are behind firewalls, in the cloud, or have overlapping IP addresses. Agents can also provide more detailed information about the node's performance and status than SNMP or WMI. Agents can use either agent-initiated or server-initiated communication, depending on your network configuration and security requirements. References: NPM Administrator Guide, page 67; SCP Study Aid - NPM, page 15.
NEW QUESTION # 39
NPM polls static properties, and calculates bandwidth consumption based on the total amount of _____ coming through the firewall.
- A. Kilobytes
- B. Bytes
- C. Megabytes
- D. Nibbles
Answer: B
Explanation:
NPM polls static properties, such as interface speed and duplex mode, from the firewall devices using SNMP.
NPM also collects traffic statistics, such as bytes in and bytes out, from the firewall interfaces using SNMP or NetFlow. NPM then calculates bandwidth consumption based on the total amount of bytes coming through the firewall over a given time interval. Bandwidth consumption is expressed as a percentage of the interface speed. For example, if a firewall interface has a speed of 100 Mbps and NPM polls 10 MB of bytes in and 10 MB of bytes out in one minute, the bandwidth consumption is 20% [(10 MB + 10 MB) / 100 Mbps *
100%]1. References: Monitor firewalls with NPM, Calculate bandwidth utilization on an interface
NEW QUESTION # 40
You want to create an alert that notifies you when packet loss meets or exceeds 50%, but only for a select set of nodes in your network. How do you accomplish this?
- A. Set the alert trigger evaluation to evaluate nodes to be included in the alert
- B. Set an alert limitation for the nodes to be included in the alert
- C. Set the scope of the alert to only apply to nodes to be included in the alert
- D. Create separate SWQL trigger condition for each node to be included in the alert
Answer: B
Explanation:
An alert limitation is a filter that restricts the scope of an alert to a specific set of objects, such as nodes, interfaces, applications, or groups. You can use an alert limitation to create an alert that only applies to a select set of nodes in your network, and exclude the rest. To set an alert limitation for the nodes to be included in the alert, follow these steps1:
Click Alerts & Activity > Alerts > Manage Alerts.
Find the alert that you want to edit or create a new alert.
On the Trigger Condition tab, define the condition that triggers the alert, such as Percent Loss is greater than or equal to 50.
On the Scope of Alert tab, select Limit the scope of this alert to a specific subset of objects.
Choose the method to define the subset of objects, such as Select objects manually, Use a custom SWQL query, or Use a custom SQL query.
Select or enter the criteria to filter the objects, such as the node name, IP address, group, custom property, or any other attribute.
Click Add Selected Objects to add the objects to the alert limitation.
Click Next and complete the rest of the alert configuration.
You can now save and enable the alert, and it will only notify you when packet loss meets or exceeds 50% for the nodes that you have selected in the alert limitation. Reference: 1: Limit the objects an alert applies to
NEW QUESTION # 41
For any node you monitor, you can use Network Discovery to automatically add child volumes or interfaces for monitoring.
- A. TRUE
- B. FALSE
Answer: B
Explanation:
For any node you monitor, you cannot use Network Discovery to automatically add child volumes or interfaces for monitoring. Network Discovery is a tool that helps you identify and add new devices to your network, but it does not automatically monitor all the components of the discovered devices. You need to manually select the volumes or interfaces you want to monitor from the list of resources on each node. You can also use the Network Sonar Results Wizard to filter and add the resources you want to monitor after running a discovery job. Reference:
Discover your network with NPM - SolarWinds (see the Monitoring Settings panel section) Network Discovery Tool - Automated Discovery Software | SolarWinds (see the Monitor Devices section)
NEW QUESTION # 42
You can share with others the PerfStack URL of any troubleshooting project you save.
- A. FALSE
- B. TRUE
Answer: B
Explanation:
You can share with others the PerfStack URL of any troubleshooting project you save in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console. PerfStack is a feature that allows you to create and customize interactive and dynamic charts that correlate time series data from multiple SolarWinds products and entity types. When you save a troubleshooting project, the URL becomes a sharable link that you can copy and paste to other users, such as your team members, network administrators, or product owners. The URL contains a compressed version of the project data, so it does not exceed the browser character limit. The users who receive the link can access the same project view as you, as long as they have the appropriate account permissions and limitations. Reference: Troubleshooting Analysis Projects, Create analysis projects with the Performance Analysis dashboard, Share analysis projects.
NEW QUESTION # 43
You can make bulk changes, such as changing the polling method, to nodes.
- A. FALSE
- B. TRUE
Answer: B
Explanation:
You can make bulk changes to nodes in NPM using the Manage Nodes feature. This allows you to select multiple nodes and edit their properties, such as the polling method, the polling frequency, the SNMP credentials, the custom properties, and more. You can also use the Edit Nodes feature to assign or unassign pollers to nodes, such as the Universal Device Poller (UnDP), the Hardware Health Poller, the Wireless Poller, and more12. Reference: 1: Change the polling method for a node3, 2: Manage pollers using Device Studio4
NEW QUESTION # 44
You need to add a new subnet of 500 devices for monitoring. What is the first step to incorporate these devices into NPM?
- A. Measure network-wide bandwidth consumption
- B. Perform a Network Discovery
- C. Collect NetFlow from a core router
- D. Add the nodes using the Add Node feature in Manage Nodes
Answer: B
Explanation:
To add a new subnet of 500 devices for monitoring, the first step is to perform a network discovery using the Network Sonar Wizard in NPM. This wizard allows you to scan your network by IP address range, subnet, or seed device and automatically discover and add nodes and interfaces to NPM for monitoring. You can also specify credentials, polling settings, and custom properties for the discovered devices. Performing a network discovery can help you quickly and efficiently incorporate new devices into NPM without manually adding them one by one. Reference: Discover your network devices, Specify subnets, Discover devices by subnets
NEW QUESTION # 45
You want a user to be able to acknowledge alerts. Which permissions do you assign to the user account?
- A. Allow Account to Clear Events and Acknowledge Alerts and Syslogs
- B. Allow Account to Unmanage Objects
- C. Allow Administrator Rights
- D. Allow Node Management Rights
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the SolarWinds NPM Administrator Guide, you can assign different permissions to user accounts to control their access and actions in the Orion Platform. One of the permissions is "Allow Account to Clear Events and Acknowledge Alerts and Syslogs", which enables the user to acknowledge alerts, clear events, and mark syslogs as read. This permission is required for auser to be able to acknowledge alerts, as acknowledging an alert stops the escalation process and provides an audit trail. The other permissions listed are not related to alert acknowledgment. "Allow Account to Unmanage Objects" allows the user to temporarily stop monitoring selected network objects. "Allow Node Management Rights" allows the user to add, edit, and delete nodes and interfaces. "Allow Administrator Rights" grants the user full access to all Orion Platform features and settings. References: SolarWinds NPM Administrator Guide, page 69-70; Add or remove an alert acknowledgment.
NEW QUESTION # 46
After you create an NPM report with custom charts for availability and response time metrics, you schedule the report and add an action to export it. But you cannot export it as an Excel file. What is the likely reason?
- A. The custom charts only support a PDF export
- B. You do not have the permissions to export the report
- C. Excel file formats are not supported
- D. You must link the report with a URL in an email action to run live in the web console
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 47
NetPath can analyze paths to which network segments?
- A. On-premise networks
- B. All of the above
- C. Cloud Networks
- D. Hybrid Networks
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 48
How do you assign users access to select reports?
- A. Use custom properties and account limitations to control report access
- B. Save the reports in different sub-directories and set the permissions for each user
- C. Create the reports while logged in as each user and set permissions
- D. Configure the report and add a Report Limitation. Assign the limitation to users who need access to the report
Answer: A
Explanation:
To assign users access to select reports, you can use custom properties and account limitations to restrict the scope of data that users can view and report on. Custom properties are user-defined fields that you can assign to monitored objects, such as nodes, interfaces, or applications. Account limitations are rules that you can apply to user accounts to filter the network data that users can access and view. By using custom properties and account limitations together, you can create granular and flexible report access for different users or groups. For example, you can create a custom property called Department and assign it to nodes that belong to different departments in your organization. Then, you can create an account limitation based on the Department custom property and assign it to users who only need to see and report on the nodes in their own department. Reference: How to create different Orion Support Users and assign them different properties in NPM, Define what users can access and do in the SolarWinds Platform
NEW QUESTION # 49
Network performance over an inter-campus Ethernet link is slow. One side of the connection is experiencing a high number of packet drops. What information in NPM can you review to help discover the cause of the issue?
- A. MTU of each side of the link
- B. Packet loss on the nodes on either side of the connection
- C. Possible Duplex Mismatches
- D. Routing tables on each side of the link
Answer: B
Explanation:
Packet loss is a measure of how many packets are lost or discarded during transmission over a network. Packet loss can cause network performance issues such as slow response time, jitter, and degraded voice quality. NPM can monitor packet loss on nodes and interfaces using ICMP ping or SNMP statistics. You can review the packet loss metrics on the Node Details or Interface Details views, or create a custom chart or report to compare packet loss across multiple nodes or interfaces. By reviewing the packet loss on the nodes on either side of the connection, you can identify which node or interface is experiencing the problem and troubleshoot the root cause. You can also use the Performance Analysis dashboard (PerfStack) to correlate packet loss with other metrics such as response time, CPU load, memory usage, buffer misses, and interface errors123.
