Question1: You need to build an Orion Map to show the relationships and connections between your Cloud servers and on premise infrastructure. You add the nodes but discover that the Orion Platform is not automatically mapping the connection between your cloud server and on premise router. You have verified that layer 2 and layer 3 topologies are being polled on the devices. How do you resolve this issue?

Question2: You receive an alert that one of your routers is experiencing critical level CPU utilization. The router details in the web console show as critical utilization, but you do not consider the utilization on that router to be at a critical level.
What change can you make in NPM to reflect a CPU utilization level you consider to be critical for the device?

Question3: The Universal Device Poller retrieves management data in which format?

Question4: 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?

Question5: You receive traps from your network devices and want to alert on a select message. How do you accomplish this?

Question6: 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?

Question7: 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?

Question8: You created a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) but cannot find an OID in the MIB tree. How do you resolve this issue?

Question9: 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?

Question10: In which scenario is an agent the best solution?

Question11: What is required of your nodes to detect duplex mismatches? (Choose all that apply.)

Question12: How many days of data must your database contain in order to see Capacity Forecast Charts in NPM?

Question13: How can you add entities from NPM to monitor for all registered devices in your company domain?

Question14: 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?

Question15: Which is the best way to monitor an SNMP metric that NPM is not monitoring out-of-the-box?

Question16: 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?

Question17: NPM polls static properties, and calculates bandwidth consumption based on the total amount of _____ coming through the firewall.

Question18: Which is not true for Device Studio Poller?

Question19: 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?

Question20: Half of your objects in a nested map are down, but the top level map is up. What is the cause?

Question21: You want a user to be able to acknowledge alerts. Which permissions do you assign to the user account?

Question22: How many agents does NPM require for Quality of Experience, NetPath, and system monitoring on the same Windows server?

Question23: How do you prevent alerts when an interface is down, without influencing the status of the parent node?

Question24: When you configure a report, you can limit access to specific users.

Question25: You can apply Universal Device Pollers to which object types? (Choose all that apply.)

Question26: 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?

Question27: You can make bulk changes, such as changing the polling method, to nodes.

Question28: You deploy a new router on your network. What should you do to ensure NPM correctly interprets SNMP traps from the device?

Question29: You run a Network Discovery and discover devices that you do not want to monitor. What feature can you use to exclude those devices from future discoveries?

Question30: You can share with others the PerfStack URL of any troubleshooting project you save.

Question31: Network performance over an inter-campus Ethernet link is slow. One side of the connection is experiencing a high number of packet drops. What information in NPM can you review to help discover the cause of the issue?
