FALSE

TRUE

3. NetPath can analyze paths to which network segments?

On-premise networks

Cloud Networks

Hybrid Networks

4. How can you add entities from NPM to monitor for all registered devices in your company domain?

Select to query Domain Controllers in a Network Discovery and then select the Organizational Units (OUs) with the registered devices you want to scan

Add each registered device individually, and then select the entities you want to monitor

Add each of your Domain Controllers as nodes to NPM and scan Active Directory Organization Units (OUs) for the registered devices

Use the NPM Active Directory Discovery tool to find all registered devices on the domain

5. You can display Palo Alto firewalls on Orion Maps.

False

True

6. 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.

Excel file formats are not supported

The custom charts only support a PDF export

You do not have the permissions to export the report

7. Which is the best way to monitor an SNMP metric that NPM is not monitoring out-of-the-box?

Create a custom poller

Node Management utility

Update the SolarWinds MIB database

Enable CLI polling

8. The finance department asks to view select reports from NPM. Because of compliance policies, you cannot create accounts in the Web Console for users outside of the IT department.

How do you allow the finance department to view reports without a user account?

Create a DirectLink account in the Web Console

Enable the Guest account

Create a service account for Finance

Enable the Link only option on the report

9. How can you extend NPM’s monitoring to non-standard devices?

11. 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?

Delete switch A, and then add it again and this time choose “Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP” as the polling method

Edit the node properties of switch A and change the polling method to “Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP”

Edit the node properties of switch A and change the polling method to “Status Only: ICMP”

Edit the node properties of switch B and change the polling method to “Status Only: ICMP”

Add switch A again without deleting it first, and this time choose “Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP” as the polling method

12. You can apply Universal Device Pollers to which object types? (Choose all that apply.)

Interfaces

Nodes

Volumes

Applications

13. How does NPM calculate capacity usage trends?

Volume capacity

Average calculation

Capacity forecasting widget

Historical data

14. You configure an alert to send you an email when you have a high CPU load on your devices. Your NPM web console shows several devices have high CPU utilization, but you have not received any emails.

What could be the issue?

The alert threshold is set too high

The hardware resources assigned to the system are too low

The alerts are muted on the devices

SNMP is not configured on the devices

15. You can make bulk changes, such as changing the polling method, to nodes.

TRUE

FALSE

16. You want to create a custom poller for a device. When you select the OID you get an “OID not supported” error.

What does this mean?

The SNMP string that you used is incorrect

The SNMP agent on the device does not report on this OID

This OID requires the read/write community string

Your firewall is blocking SNMP requests

Agents requite the SolarWinds Agent Provisioning module SAP

Licenses are available in a set of one upon request

No separate license is required

Only Windows agents need to be licensed, Linux is free

18. 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

19. You can use Device Studio to create pollers for CPU and memory?

TRUE

FALSE

20. You run ten reports on three assorted weekly schedules and send the results to the network operations distribution list. The email address for the distribution list changed, and you must update the new email address to send the reports.

How do you implement this update?

Use the Schedule Manager to edit each action on each report schedule, and change the email address

Use the Action Manager to edit each action on each report schedule, and change the email address

Make a copy of each report, edit the action to change the email address

Edit each action on each report schedule, and change the email address

21. When you configure a report, you can limit access to specific users.

TRUE

FALSE

22. While building an Orion map in the NPM web console you notice that two of your devices do not show a connection between them. You verify the two devices are connected.

How can you resolve this issue? (Choose all that apply.)

Build a new Orion map and add the related entities instead of the nodes

Verify you are monitoring Layer 2 and 3 topologies

Change the monitoring method from SNMP to CLI

Build a custom connection between the devices

23. 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
