NEW QUESTION # 19
You add several nodes for monitoring and can see detailed information on those nodes in the Orion Web Console. However, when you look at the nodes in Orion Maps, the connections between the nodes are not showing. What is a likely reason?
- A. You did not enable Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology polling on those nodes
- B. You did not add the node topology OIDs to the MIB database
- C. You did not enable SNMP polling
- D. A firewall is blocking polling between the nodes and the Orion server
Answer: A
Explanation:
Orion Maps show you how entities are connected based on the data collected by the Orion Platform products. To display the connections between the nodes in Orion Maps, you need to enable Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology polling on those nodes. This will allow the Orion Platform to discover the network topology using protocols such as CDP, LLDP, or ARP. You can enable topology polling on individual nodes or in bulk using the Manage Nodes feature in the web console. You can also customize the topology polling settings and frequency on the Orion Polling Settings page.

NEW QUESTION # 20
Your network includes the headquarters and three remote sites. Users from remote site A complain they do not have access to the company's accounting server. Users from remote site B and C have access to the accounting server. How can you find the source of the issue?
- A. Use NetPath to see if there are problem areas between remote site A and remote sites B and C
- B. Verify that the accounting servers are up
- C. Verify that the accounting servers' CPU utilization are not abnormally high
- D. Use NetPath to see if there are problem areas between remote site A and the headquarters
Answer: D
Explanation:
NetPath is a feature of SolarWinds NPM that helps you identify network problems faster by automatically creating a map of the problem area, with a wide variety of supporting information. NetPath displays the performance details of devices inside and outside of your network. You can use NetPath to see the node-by-node network path from a probe at remote site A to the accounting server at the headquarters, and isolate the node or connection that is decreasing end-to-end performance. If the issue is external, NetPath identifies the name of the company that owns the node and displays their contact information. If the issue is internal, NetPath incorporates data from NPM, NCM, and NTA about your on-premises gear. The other options are not as effective as NetPath in finding the source of the issue, as they do not provide the same level of visibility and analysis of the network path. Reference:

NEW QUESTION # 21
When you configure a report, you can limit access to specific users.
- A. FALSE
- B. TRUE
Answer: B
Explanation:
When you configure a report in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console, you can limit access to specific users by assigning a report limitation category to the report and to the user account. A report limitation category is a custom label that defines which reports a user can see. For example, you can create a "finance" category and assign it to the reports and users related to the finance department. Users with the "finance" category can only access the reports with the same category, and not the reports with other categories, such as "marketing" or "IT". You can also prevent users from accessing any reports by applying the "No Reports" limitation to their account, or allow administrators to see all reports by applying the "No Limitation" category to their account.

NEW QUESTION # 23
You start a new job where NPM is already in use. As soon as you are added to the alert list, you begin receiving "high traffic utilization" 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?
- A. Configure the alert so that it triggers only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period
- B. Increase the status polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
- C. Configure the alert so that it resets only when traffic utilization remains high fora sustained period
- D. Increase the statistics polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 24
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?
- A. Run the Configuration Wizard to update the interface indexes
- B. Manually update the interface indexes
- C. Rum a list of resources on that node and add the interfaces with the updated index IDs
- D. Update the NPM internal ID numbers
Answer: C
Explanation:
When a router monitored by NPM reboots, the interface indexes may change, causing the interface statuses to become unknown in NPM. This is because NPM uses the interface indexes to identify and poll the interfaces. To resolve this issue, you need to remove the unknown interfaces from NPM and then run a list of resources on that node to discover the interfaces with the new index IDs. You can then add the interfaces back to NPM and resume monitoring them. Reference:

- A. Configure the alert so that it triggers only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period
- B. Increase the status polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
- C. Configure the alert so that it resets only when traffic utilization remains high fora sustained period
- D. Increase the statistics polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
Answer: A
Explanation:
The best way to reduce false alerts for high traffic utilization is to configure the alert trigger condition to be more specific and accurate. By setting the alert to trigger only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period, you can avoid getting alerted for short-lived spikes that are not a cause for concern. You can use the Time of Day and Trigger Condition options in the alert configuration wizard to define the duration and threshold of the high traffic utilization condition. For example, you can set the alert to trigger only when traffic utilization is greater than 80% for more than 10 minutes during business hours. Reference:

NEW QUESTION # 27
You want to create an Orion Map that shows the connections between your on-site devices and your servers in the Cloud. You can see the connections between all of the devices on site, but do not have visibility to the connections to your cloud servers.
How do you resolve this?
- A. Switch to SNMP polling for all devices to show the connections between on site and cloud resources
- B. Open additional firewall ports between the cloud servers and the on-site devices
- C. Manually configure connections between onsite and cloud resources in Orion Maps
- D. Increase the polling intervals between Orion and the cloud servers
Answer: C
Explanation:
Orion Maps can automatically display the connections between the devices that are monitored by NPM, based on topology data, manual dependencies, or application dependency mapping. However, if some of the devices are not monitored by NPM, or the connections are not detected by any of these methods, you can manually configure the connections between them in Orion Maps. To do this, you need to drag and drop the desired devices from the Entity Library to the map canvas, and then use the Connect tool to draw lines between them.
You can also edit the connection properties, such as name, type, and status, to customize the appearance and behavior of the connections. References: Create and edit Intelligent Maps, Connect objects on maps manually, Intelligent Maps for SolarWinds Platform products
NEW QUESTION # 28
How can you quickly generate a report in NPM to show the top 50 interfaces by percent utilization?
- A. Copy a similar default report and edit it for the top 50 interfaces
- B. Create a web-based report and filter the data to restrict to the top 50 interfaces
- C. Copy a similar default report and edit it for different time-frames
- D. Create an advanced SQL query report
Answer: A
Explanation:
NPM provides several default reports that can be used as templates for creating custom reports. One of them is the Top 100 Interfaces by Percent Utilization report, which shows the average and peak utilization of the most used interfaces in the network. To create a report that shows only the top 50 interfaces, you can copy this report and edit it to change the number of rows displayed. You can also modify other parameters such as the time period, the grouping, the sorting, and the filtering criteria. To copy and edit a default report, follow these steps1:
Click Reports > All Reports > Manage Reports.
Find the Top 100 Interfaces by Percent Utilization report and click Duplicate & Edit.
On the Layout Builder panel, click Edit Table.
On the Edit Resource panel, change the Maximum Number of Rows to 50.
Optionally, change other settings such as the Time Period, the Group By, the Sort By, and the Filter Results.
Click Submit.
Optionally, change the Report Name, the Report Description, and the Report Category.
Click Next and then Save.
You can now run or schedule the report to show the top 50 interfaces by percent utilization. Reference: 1: Create a custom report for NPM showing availability of devices in the last 30 days
NEW QUESTION # 29
How do you assign users access to select reports?
- A. Create the reports while logged in as each user and set permissions
- B. Save the reports in different sub-directories and set the permissions for each user
- C. Configure the report and add a Report Limitation. Assign the limitation to users who need access to the report
- D. Use custom properties and account limitations to control report access
Answer: D
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 thatbelong 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. References: 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 # 30
How do you prevent alerts when an interface is down, without influencing the status of the parent node?
- A. Add a dependency with the node as the parent object, and the interface as the child
- B. Select Unmanage Now in the parent node's Maintenance Mode drop-down
- C. Select Display Interface as Unplugged Rather Than Down in the Node Management view
- D. Add a dependency with the interface as the parent object, and the interface as the child
Answer: C
Explanation:
If you do not want to be notified when an interface is down, you can specify that the interface is unpluggable.
The interface status is not reflected in the status of the parent node and in alerts. On the Node Management view, select the interface, and click Edit Properties. Select Display Interface as Unplugged Rather Than Down, and click Submit. The interface status does not influence the status of the parent node1. References:

NEW QUESTION # 31
Your network has critical devices on the opposite side of a WAN link from you SolarWinds server. You do not want alerts about the devices if the router (name = "target") that connects your SolarWinds server to the remote site is down. How do you configure Alert Suppression?
- A. Suppress alert when any of the following apply: Node Name is equal to "target" / Node Status is equal to "Warning"
- B. Suppress alert when any of the following apply: Node Name is equal to "target" / Interface Status is equal to "Down"
- C. Suppress alert when all of the following apply: Node Name is equal to "target" / Interface Status is equal to "Warning"
- D. Suppress alert when all of the following apply: Node Name is equal to "target" / Node Status is equal ta "Down"
Answer: B

NEW QUESTION # 34
Status, Average Response Time, and Packet Loss are the only node details data you can view for your switch A device. The node details of your identical switch B device show Status, Average Response Time, and Packet Loss and other statistics. How can you monitor the other statistics on switch A and not lose any historical data?
- A. Edit the node properties of switch B and change the polling method to "Status Only: ICMP"
- B. Delete switch A, and then add it again and this time choose "Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP" as the polling method
- C. Add switch A again without deleting it first, and this time choose "Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP" as the polling method
- D. Edit the node properties of switch A and change the polling method to "Status Only: ICMP"
- E. Edit the node properties of switch A and change the polling method to "Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP"
Answer: E
Explanation:
According to the SolarWinds NPM Administrator Guide, you can edit the node properties of any device and change the polling method to suit your needs. The polling method determines what data is collected and displayed for the node. The "Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP" polling method collects and displays the most comprehensive data, including CPU load, memory utilization, interface statistics, and more. The "Status Only: ICMP" polling method only collects and displays the node status, average response time, and packet loss. If you want to monitor the other statistics on switch A, you should change the polling method to "Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP". This will not affect the historical data that has already been collected for switch A, as it will be stored in the database. However, deleting switch A and adding it again, or adding switch A again without deleting it first, will result in losing the historical data or creating duplicate nodes.
