Question1: 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?

Question2: You monitor three Cisco routers with NPM. NPM reports utilization statistics for two of the routers. NPM only shows Availability and Response Time statuses for the third router. Why do you not see utilization statistics on the third router?

Question3: Which is the best way to monitor an SNMP metric that NPM is not monitoring out-of-the-box?

Question4: What is required to monitor tenants in your SDN environment with NPM Cisco ACI monitoring? (Choose all that apply.)

Question5: You're 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?

Question6: 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?

Question7: How do you assign users access to select reports?

Question8: Users report that email is slow. The Exchange team reports that everything is normal on the mail servers. What NPM statistic can you look at to find what might be causing the issue?

Question9: 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?

Question10: You deploy a new router on your network. What should you do to ensure NPM correctly interprets SNMP traps from the device?

Question11: What is the most time-efficient way to create a report in NPM that shows the top 50 interfaces by percent utilization?

Question12: You can import device-specific MIBs into the SolarWinds MIB Database, but you cannot import UnDP pollers based on OIDs from device-specific MIBs.

Question13: NPM polls static properties, and calculates bandwidth consumption based on the total amount of _____ coming through the firewall.

Question14: Which items can you display in Web Console maps?

Question15: You have two groups of users - 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?

Question16: How many agents does NPM require for Quality of Experience, NetPath, and system monitoring on the same Windows server?

Question17: What can you use to retrieve a single value in SNMP? (Choose all that apply.)

Question18: You receive traps from your network devices and want to alert on a select message. How do you accomplish this?

Question19: You need to implement service level agreement (SLA) reporting for a new hosted data center service. Which SLA performance metric should you track?

Question20: 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?

Question21: You can use Device Studio to create pollers for CPU and memory?

Question22: 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?

Question23: 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?

Question24: 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?

Question25: 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?

Question26: How do you prevent alerts when an interface is down, without influencing the status of the parent node?

Question27: NetPath can analyze paths to which network segments?

Question28: How can you extend NPM's monitoring to non-standard devices?

Question29: All users can create their own Orion Maps. How do you limit a user from seeing or working with select monitored entities through the SolarWinds server?

Question30: What is required to monitor tenants in your SDN environment with NPM Cisco ACI monitoring? (Choose all that apply.)

Question31: What is required of your nodes to detect duplex mismatches? (Choose all that apply.)

Question32: 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?

Question33: 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?

Question34: How can you add entities from NPM to monitor for all registered devices in your company domain?

Question35: How does NPM calculate capacity usage trends?

Question36: 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.)

Question37: Which statistic should you use to determine peak network traffic?
