NEW QUESTION # 31
How many agents does NPM require for Quality of Experience, NetPath, and system monitoring on the same Windows server?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: B
Explanation:
NPM requires only one agent for Quality of Experience, NetPath, and system monitoring on the same Windows server. The agent is a software component that collects data from the server and sends it to the Orion server1. The agent can perform multiple tasks, such as packet analysis, network path analysis, and system health monitoring, depending on the configuration and the license2. You can install the agent on the server either manually or remotely from the Orion Web Console3.

NEW QUESTION # 33
How can you extend NPM's monitoring to non-standard devices?
- A. Combining licenses from different products
- B. Deploying Orion agents
- C. Polling with non-standard protocols
- D. Using OIDs organized in MIBs
Answer: D
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 # 35
How are Orion agents licensed?
- A. No separate license is required
- B. Agents requite the SolarWinds Agent Provisioning module SAP
- C. Licenses are available in a set of one upon request
- D. Only Windows agents need to be licensed, Linux is free
Answer: A
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 # 36

- A. FALSE
- B. TRUE
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 37
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 alerts are muted on the devices
- B. The alert threshold is set too high
- C. The hardware resources assigned to the system are too low
- D. SNMP is not configured on the devices
Answer: A
Explanation:
One possible reason why you have not received any emails for the high CPU load alert is that the alerts are muted on the devices. Muting alerts means that the alert conditions are still evaluated, but the alert actions are not executed. This can be useful when you want to temporarily suppress notifications for planned maintenance or testing. You can mute alerts for individual nodes, groups, or applications, or for all alerts in the Orion Platform. To check if the alerts are muted on the devices, you can go to the Manage Nodes page and look for the Muted column. You can also use the Mute Alerts widget on the Orion homepage to see the status of alert muting. To unmute alerts, you can either use the same widget or the Unmute Alerts option in the node, group, or application details page. References: Mute alerts, Manage nodes, Mute Alerts widget
NEW QUESTION # 38
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 thatthe 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?
- A. You need to open the topology ports in your firewall between the on premise node and the cloud node
- B. You cannot monitor the connection between on premise and off premise devices
- C. You need to turn off layer 2 and layer 3 topology polling for cloud monitoring
- D. You need to configure a custom connection between the cloud node and the on premise node
Answer: D
Explanation:
Sometimes, the Orion Platform may not be able to automatically map the connection between your cloud server and on premise router, even if layer 2 and layer 3 topologies are being polled on the devices. This may happen if the devices are separated by a firewall, a VPN, or a NAT device that prevents the Orion Platform from discovering the link information. In such cases, you can manually create a custom connection between the cloud node and the on premise node on the Orion Map. You can also edit the properties of the custom connection, such as the name, the status, the bandwidth, and the utilization. By creating a custom connection, you can visualize and monitor the connection between your cloud server and on premise router on the Orion Map12. References:

Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 43
You deploy a new router on your network. What should you do to ensure NPM correctly interprets SNMP traps from the device?
- A. Review your firewall rules to ensure the traps are not blocked
- B. Update the MIB database
- C. Verify that NPM is using the correct SNMP community strings
- D. Contact the router vendor fora firmware update
Answer: B
Explanation:
SNMP traps are unsolicited messages sent by SNMP-enabled devices to notify the NPM server of important events or problems, such as device failures, configuration changes, or performance issues. SNMP traps contain information about the device and the event, such as the device name, IP address, timestamp, and OID (Object Identifier). An OID is a unique identifier for a specific variable in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a hierarchical database of device information that can be accessed by SNMP. However, not all OIDs are recognized by NPM by default, as different devices may use different or custom MIBs and OIDs.
Therefore, to ensure NPM correctly interprets SNMP trapsfrom a new router on your network, you need to update the MIB database with the latest MIBs from the router vendor or from the SolarWinds website. This will allow NPM to translate the OIDs in the SNMP traps into meaningful names and values, and display them in the Trap Viewer or use them in alerts12.
To update the MIB database, follow these steps3:
Download the MIB files from the router vendor's website or from the SolarWinds MIB Database.
Copy the MIB files to the \SolarWinds\Orion\Mibs folder on the NPM server.
Click Settings > All Settings > Manage MIBs.
Click Add New MIB and browse to the MIB file that you want to add.
Click Submit.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each MIB file that you want to add.
Click Compile to compile the MIBs and update the MIB database.
You can now view the SNMP traps from the new router in the Trap Viewer or use them in alerts. References:

The Universal Device Poller retrieves management data in which format?
- A. XML
- B. OID
- C. ANSI 1
- D. WMI
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Universal Device Poller (UnDP) is a feature of SolarWinds NPM that allows you to create custom monitors for almost any statistic provided by SNMP based on its Management Information Base (MIB) and object identifier (OID). An OID is a unique identifier for a variable that can be polled or set via SNMP. The UnDP retrieves management data in the OID format from the devices that support SNMP. The other formats (WMI, XML, ANSI 1) are not used by the UnDP. References:
