NEW QUESTION # 41
Half of your objects in a nested map are down, but the top level map is up. What is the cause?
- A. You set map status thresholds to below 50%
- B. You set availability thresholds for devices to above 50%
- C. You set map status thresholds to above 50%
- D. You set availability thresholds for devices to below 50%
Answer: C
Explanation:
Map status thresholds determine how the status of a map is calculated based on the status of its child objects.
If you set the map status threshold to above 50%, it means that the map will be up if more than half of its child objects are up, regardless of the severity of the down objects. This can cause a situation where half of your objects in a nested map are down, but the top level map is up, because the top level map only considers the status of the nested maps, not the individual objects within them. To avoid this, you can lower the map status threshold to a value that reflects the desired level of availability for your network, or use custom map status thresholds to specify different values for different maps.

NEW QUESTION # 42
How are Orion agents licensed?
- A. Licenses are available in a set of one upon request
- B. Agents requite the SolarWinds Agent Provisioning module SAP
- C. No separate license is required
- D. Only Windows agents need to be licensed, Linux is free
Answer: C
Explanation:
Orion agents are software components that you can install on nodes to collect and send data to the Orion server. Orion agents do not require a separate license, as they are included in the license of the Orion Platform product that you are using, such as NPM. You can install and use as many agents as you need, as long as you do not exceed the number of licensed nodes, interfaces, or volumes for your product. Orion agents can use either agent-initiated or server-initiated communication, depending on your network configuration and security requirements. References: NPM Administrator Guide, page 67; SCP Study Aid - NPM, page 15.
NEW QUESTION # 43
You need to implement service level agreement (SLA) reporting for a new hosted data center service. Which SLA performance metric should you track?
- A. Response time
- B. Interface discards
- C. CPU utilization
- D. Memory utilization
Answer: A
Explanation:
Response time is the amount of time it takes for a service request to return a response. It is a critical SLA performance metric for a hosted data center service, as it directly affects the user experience and satisfaction. High response time can indicate network congestion, server overload, or other performance issues that can degrade the quality of the service. By tracking response time, you can monitor the availability and reliability of the service, identify and troubleshoot potential problems, and ensure that the service meets the SLA expectations and standards.

- B. TRUE
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 45
You can apply Universal Device Pollers to which object types? (Choose all that apply.)
- A. Interfaces
- B. Applications
- C. Nodes
- D. Volumes
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
Universal Device Pollers (UnDPs) are custom pollers that allow you to monitor specific aspects of your network devices using SNMP. You can apply UnDPs to any object type that supports SNMP polling, such as interfaces, nodes, and volumes. You cannot apply UnDPs to applications, because they are not SNMP-based objects. Applications are monitored using Application Performance Monitor (APM), which uses different methods, such as WMI, scripts, or agents, to collect data. References: Monitor custom statistics based on OIDs with Universal Device Pollers in NPM, Assign Universal Device Pollers to devices monitored in NPM, Add and assign Universal Device Pollers
NEW QUESTION # 46
How can you extend NPM's monitoring to non-standard devices?
- A. Using OIDs organized in MIBs
- B. Polling with non-standard protocols
- C. Deploying Orion agents
- D. Combining licenses from different products
Answer: A
Explanation:
NPM can monitor a wide range of network devices and infrastructure, including routers, switches, firewalls, servers, and virtual machines. However, some devices may not support standard protocols such as SNMP or WMI, or may have specific metrics that are not monitored out-of-the box by NPM. In such cases, you can extend NPM's monitoring to non-standard devices by using object identifiers (OIDs) organized in management information bases (MIBs). OIDs are numeric strings that uniquely identify a variable in a MIB.
MIBs are hierarchical databases that define the properties and values of the variables that can be monitored on a device. By importing device-specific MIBs into the SolarWinds MIB Database, and creating custom pollers based on OIDs from the MIBs, you can monitor any metric that is available on the device. You can also display the polled data in the web console using dedicated or existing resources12. References:

NEW QUESTION # 47
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?
- A. Edit the node properties of switch A and change the polling method to "Status Only: ICMP"
- B. Edit the node properties of switch A and change the polling method to "Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP"
- C. Edit the node properties of switch B and change the polling method to "Status Only: ICMP"
- D. Add switch A again without deleting it first, and this time choose "Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP" as the polling method
- E. Delete switch A, and then add it again and this time choose "Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP" as the polling method
Answer: D

NEW QUESTION # 52
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?
- A. Default Syslog web filter is seven days
- B. Default Syslog retention period is seven days
- C. Database compaction runs weekly
- D. Detailed records are summarized after seven days
Answer: B
Explanation:
By default, Orion NPM retains Syslog messages in the database for seven days before discarding them. This means that any Syslog messages older than seven days are deleted from the database and cannot be viewed or searched in the web console. To change the default Syslog retention period, you need to modify the Database Settings on the Orion Polling Settings page in the web console. You can also use the Database Manager tool to manually delete or archive Syslog messages from the database. References: SolarWinds SCP Study Aid - NPM, page 19; NPM Administrator Guide, page 111.
NEW QUESTION # 53
What is required to monitor tenants in your SDN environment with NPM Cisco ACI monitoring? (Choose all that apply.)
- A. Enable API polling on the APIC node
- B. Enable API polling on all ACI devices
- C. Add an APIC node to NPM
- D. View your SDN environment in Orion Maps
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
To monitor tenants in your SDN environment with NPM Cisco ACI monitoring, you need to add an APIC node to NPM and enable API polling on the APIC node. The APIC node is the controller of the ACI system that provides a full view of the SDN environment, including tenants, application profiles, endpoint groups, spine and leaf switches, and their health scores1. By enabling API polling on the APIC node, NPM can collect health and performance data for the ACI entities and display them on the Orion Web Console2. You do not need to enable API polling on all ACI devices, as one APIC node can provide the information for the entire ACI system3. You also do not need to view your SDN environment in Orion Maps, as this is an optional feature that allows you to visualize the relationships and dependencies among the ACI entities4. References: 1:
