Q1

A network engineer is troubleshooting why a newly discovered Cisco ASA firewall is not displaying VPN tunnel statistics in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability. The device is correctly managed via SNMP, and basic CPU/Memory polling is working. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the missing VPN data?

Q2

A financial services company is using SolarWinds HCO to monitor its hybrid environment. To comply with security policies, all monitoring traffic to their AWS VPC must originate from a single, static IP address. The Orion server is located on-premises. Which architectural component must be deployed to meet this requirement for monitoring EC2 instances within the VPC?

Q3Multiple answers

An administrator is creating a custom alert to notify the network team when any core router's BGP peer state changes from 'Established'. Which two of the following components are essential to build this alert trigger condition effectively in the SolarWinds Alert Manager? (Select TWO)

Q4

True or False: When configuring NetPath, probes can only be sourced from a Windows machine with the SolarWinds Agent installed or from a main/additional polling engine.

Q5

A hospital's IT department is using SolarWinds HCO to monitor network performance. They observe that NetFlow data from their core switch is being received by the collector, but the 'Top XX Applications' resource shows a large percentage of traffic as 'unmonitored'. The goal is to accurately identify traffic from a critical, custom-developed Electronic Health Record (EHR) application that communicates on TCP port 2575. What is the most direct method in NTA to classify this traffic correctly?

Q6

An e-commerce company wants to create a real-time performance dashboard for their upcoming holiday sales event. The dashboard must correlate network latency from their primary data center to their payment gateway, the CPU load of the web server cluster, and the total bandwidth utilization on the primary internet circuit. Which SolarWinds feature is specifically designed to build such a custom, time-correlated analysis view?

Q7

A network administrator needs to create a Universal Device Poller (UnDP) to monitor the battery temperature of several UPS devices from a specific vendor. The vendor has provided a MIB file containing the necessary OID. What is the correct sequence of steps to implement this in SolarWinds HCO? ```mermaid flowchart TD A[Load MIB into SolarWinds MIB Database] --> B[Create New Universal Device Poller] B --> C{Define OID and Poller Settings} C --> D[Assign Poller to UPS Nodes] D --> E[Add Chart/Table to Node Details View] ```

Q8

An IT team is investigating a performance degradation issue for a cloud-based application. They suspect the problem lies within their primary ISP's network. Using NetPath, they have a path trace from their data center to the application's URL. The NetPath graph shows a node, identified as belonging to the ISP, with high latency and 15% packet loss. What is the most effective next action within SolarWinds HCO to gather more evidence before contacting the ISP?

Q9

A systems administrator is tasked with reducing the SolarWinds database size. After analysis, it is determined that the majority of space is consumed by detailed NetFlow data. The company's policy requires retaining high-level traffic trends for one year, but per-conversation detail is only needed for 7 days. How can this be configured in SolarWinds NTA?

Q10

To ensure business continuity, a company has implemented a SolarWinds High Availability (HA) pool for its main polling engine. During a test, the primary server is shut down. The secondary server successfully becomes active and takes over polling. However, the network team reports that they are no longer receiving email alerts. What is the most probable cause of this issue?
