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?
Configure the alert so that it triggers only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period
Configure the alert so that it resets only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period
Increase the status polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
Increase the statistics polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
You use NPM to monitor a set of physical servers. The server team decides to virtualize these servers using VMware. Which part of your virtual infrastructure will NPM no longer be able to monitor?
Virtualization host hardware health
VM sprawl monitoring
Virtualization host and VM performance metrics
Virtualization environment tree
When a router monitored by NPM reboots, the interface indexes statuses change to unknown in NPM. What do you do after you remove the unknown interfaces?
Update the NPM internal ID numbers
Manually update the interface indexes
Rum a list of resources on that node and add the interfaces with the updated index IDs
Run the Configuration Wizard to update the interface indexes
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?
You must link the report with a URL in an email action to run live in the web console
Excel file formats are not supported
The custom charts only support a PDF export
You do not have the permissions to export the report
How do you assign users access to select reports?
Create the reports while logged in as each user and set permissions
Use custom properties and account limitations to control report access
Configure the report and add a Report Limitation. Assign the limitation to users who need access to the report
Save the reports in different sub-directories and set the permissions for each user
Retention policies require you to keep Syslog messages in the database for 9 days before you can discard them. Syslog messages from 8 days ago are missing.
What is likely the issue?
Database compaction runs weekly
Default Syslog retention period is seven days
Default Syslog web filter is seven days
Detailed records are summarized after seven days
You created a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) but cannot find an OID in the MIB tree. How do you resolve this issue?
Restart the Universal Device Poller
Update the MIB database
Rediscover the node via Network Sonar Discovery
Add the node to NPM for monitoring
Explanation:
Reference: https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Diagnostics-Troubleshoot-UnDP-issues? language=en_US#:~:text=When%20you%20use%20the%20Universal,can%20type%20it%20in %20directly
Users report that NPM performance is slow when managing devices through the Orion Web Console. You verify the SNMP trapping is responsible for the poor performance.
How do you resolve this issue?
Add the devices as managed nodes to cut down on the trap messages received
Point the devices to a trap manager and filter unwanted messages before forwarding remaining traps to the Orion Platform
Reduce the number of days SNMP messages are kept in the SolarWinds Trap Viewer
Add an Additional Web Server to handle the load of users accessing the NPM Orion Web Console
How can you ensure the trigger actions you set on an alert will work?
Use the Database Manager to trigger and test the alert
Simulate a performance interruption on a network device to test the alert trigger
Click Simulate on the assigned trigger action
Test the alert from within Alert View of the Web Console

The Universal Device Poller retrieves management data in which format?
OID
WMI
XML
ANSI 1

Youâre troubleshooting a complex network issue and need to build a comparison of several metrics across multiple devices and SolarWinds products to identify the problem.
What feature can you use?
PerfStack
Network Insight
NetPath
AppStack
You can import device-specific MIBs into the SolarWinds MIB Database, but you cannot import UnDP pollers based on OIDs from device-specific MIBs.
True
False
You have two groups of users C one in Sydney and one in Perth.
How do you limit the users within the Orion Platform so they only have access to the devices in their location?
Group devices into geographical Orion groups and use single group Account limitations to limit user access
Configure Network Atlas to show only devices in their geographical location
Use the Orion Service Manager to limit user access to nodes only in their location
Configure the Orion Web Console settings to show only devices in the userâs geographical location
You need to add a new subnet of 500 devices for monitoring. What is the first step to incorporate these devices into NPM?
Collect NetFlow from a core router
Perform a Network Discovery
Measure network-wide bandwidth consumption
Add the nodes using the Add Node feature in Manage Nodes
In which scenario is an agent the best solution?
If you cannot allow ICMP polling on your routers
If hosts in distributed networks have overlapping IP addresses
If the WMI ports are already in use on Linux
If Native GLX log file monitoring is required
How can you quickly generate a report in NPM to show the top 50 interfaces by percent utilization?
Create a web-based report and filter the data to restrict to the top 50 interfaces
Copy a similar default report and edit it for different time-frames
Copy a similar default report and edit it for the top 50 interfaces
Create an advanced SQL query report
Half of your objects in a nested map are down, but the top level map is up. What is the cause?
You set availability thresholds for devices to above 50%
You set availability thresholds for devices to below 50%
You set map status thresholds to above 50%
You set map status thresholds to below 50%
Which items can you display in Web Console maps?
Monitored nodes and network links
Quarks, gluons, Leptons, nodes, and network links
Interfaces, volumes, and database instances
Monitored nodes, interfaces and volumes, SAM applications and components, and network links
Your network includes the headquarters and three remote sites. Users from remote site A complain they do not have access to the companyâs accounting server. Users from remote site B and C have access to the accounting server.
How can you find the source of the issue?
Use NetPath to see if there are problem areas between remote site A and the headquarters
Verify that the accounting serversâ CPU utilization are not abnormally high
Use NetPath to see if there are problem areas between remote site A and remote sites B and C
Verify that the accounting servers are up

You start a new job where NPM is already in use. As soon as you are added to the alert list, you begin receiving âhigh traffic utilizationâ alerts from a handful of interfaces.
When you check the alert, the traffic spike has ended. Your new colleagues advise you to ignore these alerts because the spikes rarely last for more than a couple of minutes and are only a concern if they last longer.
How should NPM be modified so you receive fewer false alerts?
Configure the alert so that it triggers only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period
Configure the alert so that it resets only when traffic utilization remains high fora sustained period
Increase the status polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
Increase the statistics polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
What is required of your nodes to detect duplex mismatches? (Choose all that apply.)
Duplex of both devices must be identified as full or half
Ensure corresponding values for each interface are different
The nodes must support topology and be interconnected
Unify the duplex mode configuration on neighboring interfaces
