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

• You cannot alert on traps through the Orion Platform
• Configure Syslog alert actions on the Alert Actions tab
• Use Traps in Orion Alerts to configure the default trap alert to fire on the trap message you select to alert on
• Go to the Traps view and configure a new Log Viewer rule

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?

• Copy the alert, change the trigger threshold, and limit the scope on that device
• Change the global critical CPU threshold for node statuses
• Change the critical CPU threshold on the node
• Change the trigger threshold on the alert

You want to create a custom poller for a device. When you select the OID you get an “OID not supported” error. What does this mean?

• The SNMP string that you used is incorrect
• The SNMP agent on the device does not report on this OID
• This OID requires the read/write community string
• Your firewall is blocking SNMP requests

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

• Duplex of both devices must be identified as full or half
• Ensure corresponding values for each interface are different
• The nodes must support topology and be interconnected
• Unify the duplex mode configuration on neighboring interfaces

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?

• Manually configure connections between onsite and cloud resources in Orion Maps
• Switch to SNMP polling for all devices to show the connections between on site and cloud resources
• Increase the polling intervals between Orion and the cloud servers
• Open additional firewall ports between the cloud servers and the on-site devices

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?

• Group devices into geographical Orion groups and use single group Account limitations to limit user access
• Configure Network Atlas to show only devices in their geographical location
• Use the Orion Service Manager to limit user access to nodes only in their location
• Configure the Orion Web Console settings to show only devices in the user’s geographical location

How are Orion agents licensed?

• Agents requite the SolarWinds Agent Provisioning module SAP
• Licenses are available in a set of one upon request
• No separate license is required
• Only Windows agents need to be licensed, Linux is free

The finance department asks to view select reports from NPM. Because of compliance policies, you cannot create accounts in the Web Console for users outside of the IT department. How do you allow the finance department to view reports without a user account?

• Create a DirectLink account in the Web Console
• Enable the Guest account
• Create a service account for Finance
• Enable the Link only option on the report

Capacity planning is available for which metrics?

• Up/Down, Packet Loss, and Latency
• Response Time, Interface, and Volume Utilization
• CPU, Memory, and Interface
• Hardware Health

NetPath can analyze paths to which network segments?

• On-premise networks
• Cloud Networks
• Hybrid Networks
• All of the above
