You can share with others the PerfStack URL of any troubleshooting project you save.
- A. FALSE
- B. TRUE
Answer: B
Explanation:
You can share with others the PerfStack URL of any troubleshooting project you save in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console. PerfStack is a feature that allows you to create and customize interactive and dynamic charts that correlate time series data from multiple SolarWinds products and entity types. When you save a troubleshooting project, the URL becomes a sharable link that you can copy and paste to other users, such as your team members, network administrators, or product owners. The URL contains a compressed version of the project data, so it does not exceed the browser character limit. The users who receive the link can access the same project view as you, as long as they have the appropriate account permissions and limitations.

NetPath can analyze paths to which network segments?
- A. Hybrid Networks
- B. All of the above
- C. On-premise networks
- D. Cloud Networks
Answer: B
Explanation:
NetPath is a feature of 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. NetPath can analyze paths to any network segment, whether it is on-premise, cloud, or hybrid. NetPath uses distributed monitoring and path analysis to discover how applications are delivered through the network to your users. You can deploy agents on Windows computers that act as synthetic users and use advanced probing to discover and test the network path that traffic takes to any network endpoint, such as your local file print server, your website, or external websites. NetPath can also incorporate data from NPM, NCM, and NTA about your on-premises gear, as well as data from the Internet nodes and providers12.

NEW QUESTION # 43
What is the average resource consumption of an agent?
- A. Less than 1% CPU, max 1 MB of memory, 1 MB storage
- B. Agents run as a virtual process and do not require local resources
- C. Between 1-2% CPU if the bandwidth is less than 8 KB/s
- D. Less than 1% CPU, no storage because the agent is 1% in memory for faster access
Answer: A
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 # 44
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?
- A. The alert threshold is set too high
- B. SNMP is not configured on the devices
- C. The hardware resources assigned to the system are too low
- D. The alerts are muted on the devices

NEW QUESTION # 45
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. Charts are only supported by out-of-the-box pollers
- B. You did not set the poller to collect historical statistics
- C. The poller is not enabled and assigned to the devices
- D. You must use Device Studio to build the poller
Answer: B
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 # 46
What is required of your nodes to detect duplex mismatches? (Choose all that apply.)
- A. Unify the duplex mode configuration on neighboring interfaces
- B. Ensure corresponding values for each interface are different
- C. Duplex of both devices must be identified as full or half
- D. The nodes must support topology and be interconnected
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
To detect duplex mismatches, you need to meet the following requirements1:
The nodes must be monitored by NPM.
The nodes must be in the up state during the discovery.
The nodes must support topology and be interconnected.
Duplex of both devices must be identified as full or half.
The Possible Duplex Mismatches widget must be enabled on the node details view.
You do not need to ensure corresponding values for each interface are different, as this is the result of a duplex mismatch, not a requirement for detection. In fact, you should unify the duplex mode configuration on neighboring interfaces to avoid mismatches1.

NEW QUESTION # 47
You need to add a new subnet of 500 devices for monitoring. What is the first step to incorporate these devices into NPM?
- A. Add the nodes using the Add Node feature in Manage Nodes
- B. Collect NetFlow from a core router
- C. Measure network-wide bandwidth consumption
- D. Perform a Network Discovery
Answer: D
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. References: Discover your network devices, Specify subnets, Discover devices by subnets

NEW QUESTION # 50
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 all of the following apply: Node Name is equal to "target" / Node Status is equal ta
"Down" - B. Suppress alert when all of the following apply: Node Name is equal to "target" / Interface Status is equal to "Warning"
- C. Suppress alert when any of the following apply: Node Name is equal to "target" / Interface Status is equal to "Down"
- D. Suppress alert when any of the following apply: Node Name is equal to "target" / Node Status is equal to "Warning"
Answer: A
Explanation:
Alert suppression is a feature that allows you to create conditions that prevent an alert from being triggered or sent if certain criteria are met. This can help you avoid receiving multiple or unnecessary alerts from a single event or a complex situation. For example, if you have a router that connects your SolarWinds server to a remote site with critical devices, you may not want to receive alerts about those devices if the router is down, as the problem is not with the devices but with the router. In this case, you can configure alert suppression to suppress the alerts for the devices if the router is down. To do this, you need to select the option "Suppress the alert if all of the following apply" and add the conditions "Node Name is equal to 'target'" and "Node Status is equal to 'Down'". This means that the alert will be suppressed only if both conditions are true, i.e., the router with the name 'target' is down. If the router is up or has a different name, the alert will not be suppressed. References: Alert suppression - SolarWinds; Alert Suppression - Forum - Network Performance Monitor (NPM) - THWACK
NEW QUESTION # 51

- D. You set availability thresholds for devices to above 50%
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 52
What is the most time-efficient way to create a report in NPM that shows the top 50 interfaces by percent utilization?
- A. Run the default top 25 interfaces by percent utilization report for different timeframes
- B. Create a new advanced SQL query report
- C. Edit the default top 25 interfaces by percent utilization report and update to the top 50
- D. Create an interface report and use a filter to restrict to the top 50
Answer: C
Explanation:
NPM provides a default report called Top 25 Interfaces by Percent Utilization that shows the interfaces with the highest average utilization over the selected time period1. This report can be easily edited to change the number of interfaces displayed, the time period, the sorting order, the layout, and the filters2. To create a report that shows the top 50 interfaces by percent utilization, you can simply edit this report and change the Limit option from 25 to 503. This is the most time-efficient way to create the report, as it does not require creating a new report from scratch, writing a SQL query, or running the report multiple times for different timeframes.

NEW QUESTION # 53
How can you add entities from NPM to monitor for all registered devices in your company domain?
- A. Add each of your Domain Controllers as nodes to NPM and scan Active Directory Organization Units (OUs) for the registered devices
- B. Use the NPM Active Directory Discovery tool to find all registered devices on the domain
- C. Select to query Domain Controllers in a Network Discovery and then select the Organizational Units (OUs) with the registered devices you want to scan
- D. Add each registered device individually, and then select the entities you want to monitor
Answer: C
Explanation:
Network Discovery is a feature of SolarWinds NPM that allows you to automatically discover and add network devices to the Orion Platform for monitoring. You can use Network Discovery to query Domain Controllers in your company domain and then select the Organizational Units (OUs) with the registered devices you want to scan. This way, you can add entities from NPM to monitor for all registered devices in your company domain in a single discovery. The other options are not as efficient or accurate as Network Discovery, as they either require manual addition of each device, or rely on the Domain Controllers to provide the list of registered devices, which may not be up-to-date or complete.

How can you ensure the trigger actions you set on an alert will work?
- A. Simulate a performance interruption on a network device to test the alert trigger
- B. Test the alert from within Alert View of the Web Console
- C. Use the Database Manager to trigger and test the alert
- D. Click Simulate on the assigned trigger action
Answer: D
Explanation:
When you create or edit an alert, you can test the trigger and reset actions by clicking Simulate next to the action you want to test. This will execute the action regardless of the trigger condition. You can also select an object to resolve any variables you have used in your action. For example, if your action is to send an email with the node name and status, you can select a node to see how the email will look like. This way, you can ensure the trigger actions you set on an alert will work as expected. References: Test alert triggers and actions in the SolarWinds Platform, How to Create Intelligent Alerts with NPM, How alerts work.
NEW QUESTION # 58
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. Manually update the interface indexes
- B. Update the NPM internal ID numbers
- 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: D
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. References:

NEW QUESTION # 59
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?
- A. Packet loss on the nodes on either side of the connection
- B. MTU of each side of the link
- C. Routing tables on each side of the link
- D. Possible Duplex Mismatches
Answer: A
Explanation:
Packet loss is a measure of how many packets are lost or discarded during transmission over a network.
Packet loss can cause network performance issues such as slow response time, jitter, and degraded voice quality. NPM can monitor packet loss on nodes and interfaces using ICMP ping or SNMP statistics. You can review the packet loss metrics on the Node Details or Interface Details views, or create a custom chart or report to compare packet loss across multiple nodes or interfaces. By reviewing the packet loss on the nodes on either side of the connection, you can identify which node or interface is experiencing the problem and troubleshoot the root cause. You can also use the Performance Analysis dashboard (PerfStack) to correlate packet loss with other metrics such as response time, CPU load, memory usage, buffer misses, and interface errors123.
