Observability Self-Hosted Network Monitoring

Observability Self-Hosted Network Monitoring practice questions, page 3 of 7, with answer review and explanations.

Question 11

When a parent object goes down or becomes unresponsive, all interfaces on the switch will also be unresponsive. Though they may be working, “unreachable” status is used because the parent node reports as “down” and a status cannot be determined. Any alerts where the trigger condition includes node status equal to “down” are not triggered.In which section of SolarWinds’ platform can an administrator configure the status of child objects as “unreachable” instead of “down” or “unknown”?

  1. core thresholds
  2. manage dependencies
  3. node status participation
  4. polling settings

Question 12

What network capacity planning method is suitable for important devices and connections?

  1. average calculation
  2. default calculation
  3. forecast calculation
  4. peak calculation

Question 13

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.)

  1. Ping device from assigned polling engine.
  2. Run SNMP walk on the appropriate node.
  3. Verify the appropriate polling method is set for this node.
  4. Verify a ping response for this node is received through the ICMP.

Question 14

Which three of the following data points directly affect the precision of capacity forecasting? (Choose three.)

  1. amount of historical data used
  2. exhaustion calculation method
  3. polling interval
  4. warning thresholds

Question 15

A NetPath probe is to be built to monitor the paths between two sites. No Windows servers are available to run the agent.Which two of the following options can be used to set up the probe? (Choose two.)

  1. Install the agent on a red hat Linux server.
  2. Install the agent on a Windows 10 computer.
  3. Run the probe from the hybrid cloud observability (HCO) server.
  4. Use the network device agent to run the probe from the router.
