NEW QUESTION # 28
A router has been added for health and performance monitoring in hybrid cloud observability, however default SNMP polling data is not visible. Additional network devices have been added and SNMP metrics for those devices are now visible.
How should this issue be resolved?
- A. Perform a firmware upgrade on the device to update its MIB file.
- B. Perform an MIB database update and build custom pollers to monitor the device.
- C. Perform an MIB database update to update the default
- D. Perform an SNMP walk and add the device's MIB file to SolarWinds' MIB database.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
If default SNMP polling is not returning data for a new device but works for others, it is likely that the device uses unique or vendor-specific MIBs not present in the SolarWinds MIB database. Updating the MIB database and building custom pollers (UDPs) for those MIBs allows you to collect the desired metrics. An SNMP walk may help you identify the OIDs, but building and assigning pollers is necessary for ongoing monitoring.

Universal Device Poller Admin Guide, "Custom Pollers for Non-Standard Devices,"
NEW QUESTION # 29
NetFlow and CBQoS monitoring can be disabled through web console settings. If NetFlow monitoring is disabled for a node or interface, the data collection is stopped. Which two of the following statements are true regarding disabling NetFlow monitoring? (Choose two.)
- A. historical data is removed from the database
- B. historical data is retained within the database
- C. enabling and disabling flow collection can result in gaps within NTA graphs
- D. enabling and disabling flow collection will not cause gaps within NTA graphs
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
Disabling NetFlow/CBQoS stops flow data collection, resulting in gaps in graphs during the disabled period (A). However, historical data collected prior to disabling is retained in the database (C), so you can still view past flow information.
Reference:
NTA Administrator Guide, "Enabling/Disabling Flow Collection and Data Retention,"
"Disabling monitoring creates data gaps but does not delete historical flow records."QUESTION
NEW QUESTION # 30
A node has been added to hybrid cloud observability and shows an "unknown" status until the data is polled.
The default interval for polling status is two minutes.
If the node stays in the "unknown" status longer than the polling interval, which three of the following steps can be performed to resolve the issue? (Choose three.)
- A. Verify the appropriate polling method is set for this node.
- B. Verify a pingresponsefor this node is received through the ICMP.
- C. Run SNMP walk on the appropriate node.
- D. Ping device from assigned polling engine.
Answer: A,B,D
NEW QUESTION # 31
Which three of the following data points does NetFlow use to confirm traffic is in the same flow? (Choose three.)
- A. port number
- B. interface name
- C. IP address
- D. L3 protocol
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
NetFlow defines a flow as a unidirectional sequence of packets sharing common values in seven key fields.
The three essential data points from your list used to determine if packets are part of the same flow are IP address (source and destination), Layer 3 protocol (such as TCP or UDP), and port number (source and destination). The interface name is not used to identify a unique flow.
Reference:
"NetFlow identifies a flow by seven key values, including source and destination IP address, source and destination port, and Layer 3 protocol. These define whether packets are considered part of the same flow."
- (Network Performance Monitor Administrator Guide, NetFlow configuration and flow records section)

NEW QUESTION # 34
Which port needs to be open in order to analyze flow and monitor CBQoS?
- A. Flow (TCP, 2055), CBQoS (SNMP, 161)
- B. Flow (UDP, 2055), CBQoS (SNMP, 161)
- C. Flow (SNMP, 161), CBQoS (TCP, 2055)
- D. Flow (SNMP, 161), CBQoS (UDP, 2055)
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
UDP port 2055 is the default port for NetFlow data (flow analysis), while SNMP (port 161) is required for CBQoS monitoring. SolarWinds NTA receives flow traffic on UDP 2055, and SNMP is used for polling CBQoS statistics from devices.
Reference:
"The default port for NetFlow data is UDP 2055, and SNMP polling occurs over port 161. CBQoS statistics require SNMP polling."
- (Network Performance Monitor Administrator Guide, NetFlow and CBQoS Requirements section)
NEW QUESTION # 35
Which method is used to add new UPS battery status statistics onto an existing node that does not have the default value polled?
- A. define custom statistic with universal device poller (UnDP)
- B. update SolarWinds' MIB database
- C. custom statistics cannot be added to an existing node
- D. create new custom device poller
Answer: A
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
The Universal Device Poller (UnDP) allows administrators to define custom SNMP OIDs for statistics (like UPS battery status) that are not natively polled. You can assign a new UnDP to an existing node to monitor additional values such as UPS battery status, provided the device supports the necessary OID.
Reference:
"Use the Universal Device Poller to assign additional custom statistics, such as UPS battery status, to any node that supports the relevant SNMP OID."
- (Network Performance Monitor Administrator Guide, Universal Device Poller section)

If an OID is not present in the SolarWinds MIB database, you can still poll it by manually defining the OID in Device Studio. The platform allows you to input the object identifier and specify SNMP as the method to query the device.
From the documentation:
"If a required OID is missing from the MIB database, use the Device Studio's 'Manually Define Object Identifier' feature to specify the OID and configure SNMP polling for the device." References:
NPM Administrator Guide: Device Studio - Manually Defining Object Identifiers
NEW QUESTION # 41
Which additional polling method is needed after adding an F5 load balancing node for SNMP monitoring?
- A. CLI
- B. API
- C. WM1
- D. iControl
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
When monitoring F5 BIG-IP load balancers, SolarWinds Network Insight requires both SNMP for device status and iControl (a proprietary F5 API) for advanced configuration and health monitoring. The SolarWinds guide states:
"After adding an F5 load balancer with SNMP, configure the iControl connection to access additional F5- specific health and configuration metrics." References:
F5 BIG-IP and iControl configuration - SolarWinds NPM Administrator Guide, Network Insight for F5 BIG- IP section
NEW QUESTION # 42
The fan of a network device has failed; however, the status shows as "up" on the current hardware health resource in the node details view. Which two of the following causes could be creating the issue? (Choose two.)
- A. hardware sensors are disabled
- B. wrong MIB being used for polling
- C. threshold of the fan sensor has been forced
- D. resource is showing outdated information
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
Resource is showing outdated information: If polling intervals are too long or if there is a communication problem, the hardware health resource may not update promptly, resulting in inaccurate status display.
Wrong MIB being used for polling: If SolarWinds is using an incorrect or generic MIB, it may not retrieve accurate hardware health data for the specific fan sensor, causing the status to incorrectly display as "up" even when failed.
While disabled sensors and forced thresholds may impact alerting or monitoring, they are less likely to cause this direct display inconsistency.

Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 44
Which two of the following points can be checked when the node status is "unknown"? (Choose two.)
- A. OID
- B. view method
- C. polling method
- D. ping response
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
When a node status is "unknown," it often means the SolarWinds platform cannot communicate with the node. The first checks should be:
Ping response: Verify if the node is reachable via ICMP ping, as lack of response leads to an unknown status.
Polling method: Confirm the correct polling method (ICMP, SNMP, WMI, API) is configured and functioning.
OID (A) is related to SNMP but not directly to basic node status, and view method (D) is not a relevant diagnostic step.
Reference:
NPM Administrator Guide, "Troubleshooting Node Status 'Unknown',"
"Check basic reachability (ping) and confirm the polling method is correct..."
NEW QUESTION # 45
One NetPath probe is showing a "no data found" error, however other probes are returning data without issue.
What is the most likely resolution?
- A. delete the probe, reinstall the agent manually, and re-add the probe
- B. add the probe ID to the engines table manually
- C. probe was added in NetPath without an agent installed on its node
- D. restart the SolarWinds agent service on the node
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
If a NetPath probe displays "no data found" while others work, the most common and recommended first step is to restart the SolarWinds agent service on the node where the problematic probe is deployed. This action often resolves agent-to-probe communication issues or agent service hiccups.
Reference:
"If a NetPath probe reports 'no data found', restart the SolarWinds agent service on the target node to resolve agent communication or collection issues."
- (Network Performance Monitor Administrator Guide, NetPath Troubleshooting section)
NEW QUESTION # 46

What should be done to resolve the issue?
- A. Run a rediscovery on both nodes and interfaces to refresh the data.
- B. Manually update the changed information in each poller.
- C. Run a rediscovery on the node, which will also update the interfaces.
- D. Delete and re-add each of the nodes and their interfaces.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
A node rediscovery updates all node and interface information, including names, IP addresses, captions, and interface aliases. Running a rediscovery on the node ensures all related interface details are refreshed in the SolarWinds database and web console.
Reference:
"Running rediscovery on a node refreshes both the node's and its interfaces' properties, including names and IP addresses."
