NEW QUESTION # 38
You need to add a new subnet of 500 devices for monitoring. What is the first step to incorporate these devices into NPM?
- A. Perform a Network Discovery
- B. Measure network-wide bandwidth consumption
- C. Collect NetFlow from a core router
- D. Add the nodes using the Add Node feature in Manage Nodes
Answer: A
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.

A custom poller has polled some results from nodes. Which of the following is a possible reason for NOT being able to show the polled results as charts on the Orion Web Console?
- A. The poller is not enabled and assigned to the devices
- B. You must use Device Studio to build the poller
- C. You did not set the poller to collect historical statistics
- D. Charts are only supported by out-of-the-box pollers
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 41
How can you extend NPM's monitoring to non-standard devices?
- A. Using OIDs organized in MIBs
- B. Combining licenses from different products
- C. Polling with non-standard protocols
- D. Deploying Orion agents
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 42
What is the average resource consumption of an agent?
- A. Agents run as a virtual process and do not require local resources
- B. Less than 1% CPU, no storage because the agent is 1% in memory for faster access
- C. Less than 1% CPU, max 1 MB of memory, 1 MB storage
- D. Between 1-2% CPU if the bandwidth is less than 8 KB/s
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the SolarWinds Platform Agent requirements, the average resource consumption of an agent is less than 1% CPU, max 1 MB of memory, and 1 MB storage on the target computer. The agent software is designed to be lightweight and efficient, and does not impact the performance of the monitored devices. The other options are incorrect, as they either overestimate or underestimate the resource consumption of the agent, or imply that the agent does not use any local resources at all. References: SolarWinds Platform Agent requirements, section "SolarWinds Platform Agent resource consumption".
NEW QUESTION # 43
Half of your objects in a nested map are down, but the top level map is up. What is the cause?
- A. You set availability thresholds for devices to above 50%
- B. You set map status thresholds to below 50%
- C. You set availability thresholds for devices to below 50%
- D. You set map status thresholds to above 50%
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 44
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. References:

NEW QUESTION # 45
Capacity planning is available for which metrics?
- A. Response Time, Interface, and Volume Utilization
- B. CPU, Memory, and Interface
- C. Hardware Health
- D. Up/Down, Packet Loss, and Latency
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 46
Which statistic should you use to determine peak network traffic?
- A. Packet loss
- B. Network latency
- C. Protocol distribution
- D. Bandwidth usage
Answer: D
Explanation:
Bandwidth usage is the amount of data transferred over a network connection in a given time period. It is an indicator of how much traffic is flowing through a network device or link. Peak network traffic is the highest level of bandwidth usage that occurs during a specific time interval, such as an hour, a day, or a week.
Monitoring peak network traffic can help you identify potential bottlenecks, plan for capacity, and optimize network performance. NPM can monitor bandwidth usage on nodes and interfaces using SNMP, WMI, or NetFlow protocols. You can view bandwidth usage charts and reports in the web console, as well as set alerts and thresholds for bandwidth utilization. References: Monitor bandwidth usage in NPM; SCP Study Aid - NPM, page 11.
NEW QUESTION # 47
What is the average resource consumption of an agent?
- A. Agents run as a virtual process and do not require local resources
- B. Less than 1% CPU, no storage because the agent is 1% in memory for faster access
- C. Less than 1% CPU, max 1 MB of memory, 1 MB storage
- D. Between 1-2% CPU if the bandwidth is less than 8 KB/s
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 48
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?
- A. Point the devices to a trap manager and filter unwanted messages before forwarding remaining traps to the Orion Platform
- B. Reduce the number of days SNMP messages are kept in the SolarWinds Trap Viewer
- C. Add the devices as managed nodes to cut down on the trap messages received
- D. Add an Additional Web Server to handle the load of users accessing the NPM Orion Web Console
Answer: A
Explanation:
SNMP traps are unsolicited messages sent by network devices to report events or issues. If NPM receives too many traps from devices that are not managed by NPM, or traps that are not relevant for monitoring, the performance of the Orion Web Console can be affected. To resolve this issue, you can point the devices to a trap manager, such as Kiwi Syslog Server, and configure it to filter out unwanted traps before forwarding the remaining ones to the Orion Platform. This way, NPM will only process the traps that are important for monitoring and alerting, and reduce the load on the database and web server.

Answer: C,D
NEW QUESTION # 50
NPM polls static properties, and calculates bandwidth consumption based on the total amount of _____ coming through the firewall.
- A. Nibbles
- B. Kilobytes
- C. Megabytes
- D. Bytes
Answer: D
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 *

- A. Update the NPM internal ID numbers
- B. Manually update the interface indexes
- C. Run the Configuration Wizard to update the interface indexes
- D. Rum a list of resources on that node and add the interfaces with the updated index IDs
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 54
You added a device for NPM to monitor. You can see CPU and memory statistics, but want to see a statistic that NPM does not support out of the box. Which features can you use to collect the statistics you want from the device? (Choose all that apply.)
- A. Manage Pollers in Device Studio
- B. Universal Device Pollers (UnDP)
- C. Device templates
- D. Application monitor templates
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
If you want to see a statistic that NPM does not support out of the box, you can use the Manage Pollers feature in Device Studio or the Universal Device Pollers (UnDP) feature to collect the statistics you want from the device. Both features allow you to create custom monitors for almost any statistic provided by SNMP based on its Management Information Base (MIB) and object identifier (OID). You can also assign the custom pollers to specific devices, view the polled data in the Orion Web Console, and use the data in alerts and reports. The difference between the two features is that Manage Pollers is a web-based interface that simplifies the creation and management of custom pollers, while UnDP is a standalone application that offers more advanced options and flexibility. Device templates and application monitor templates are not features that can be used to collect custom statistics from devices, as they are predefined sets of monitors for specific device types or applications that NPM supports out of the box. References:

NEW QUESTION # 55
A custom poller has polled some results from nodes. Which of the following is a possible reason for NOT being able to show the polled results as charts on the Orion Web Console?
- A. The poller is not enabled and assigned to the devices
- B. You must use Device Studio to build the poller
- C. Charts are only supported by out-of-the-box pollers
- D. You did not set the poller to collect historical statistics
Answer: D
Explanation:
One possible reason for not being able to show the polled results as charts on the Orion Web Console is that you did not set the poller to collect historical statistics. Historical statistics are required for displaying charts and gauges in the web console, as they provide the data points for plotting the trends and values over time. If you only set the poller to collect current statistics, you will only be able to view the polled results as tables or lists in the web console. To set the poller to collect historical statistics, you need to edit the poller and select the Keep Historical Data option in the Poller Properties page. You can also specify the retention settings for the historical data, such as the frequency and duration of data collection and storage1. References: Create a custom poller
NEW QUESTION # 56
Which is not true for Device Studio Poller?
- A. Can perform logical operations or transformations on the polled data
- B. Can poll multiple OIDs for a given technology
- C. Polled values are displayed in existing resources
- D. Collects data from Orion Failover Engine or Hot Standby Engines
Answer: D
Explanation:
Device Studio Poller is a feature that allows users to create custom pollers for devices or technologies that are not supported by default in NPM. It can poll multiple OIDs for a given technology, perform logical operations or transformations on the polled data, and display the polled values in existing resources. However, it does not collect data from Orion Failover Engine or Hot Standby Engines, which are features of Orion High Availability that ensure continuous monitoring in case of primary server failure12.
