Collects data from Orion Failover Engine or Hot Standby Engines
B.
Can perform logical operations or transformations on the polled data
C.
Polled values are displayed in existing resources
D.
Can poll multiple OIDs for a given technology
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Device Studio Poller is a feature that allows users to create custom pollers for devices or
technologies that are not supported by default in NPM. It can poll multiple OIDs for a given
technology, perform logical operations or transformations on the polled data, and display the polled
values in existing resources. However, it does not collect data from Orion Failover Engine or Hot
Standby Engines, which are features of Orion High Availability that ensure continuous monitoring in
case of primary server failure12. Reference: 1: Create pollers in Device Studio for NPM3, 2: When

Question #2 (Topic: demo questions)
How does NPM calculate capacity usage trends?
A.
Volume capacity
B.
Average calculation
C.
Capacity forecasting widget
D.
Historical data
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Capacity usage trends are calculated based on historical data. By default, the longest time period
taken into account for calculating the capacity forecast is 180 days. The more historical data up to 180
days are available, the more precise is the calculated forecast. Forecast calculation methods include peak calculation and average calculation, which can be set globally or customized for individual
objects. Capacity forecasting is available for nodes, interfaces, and volumes that meet certain
requirements, such as being managed in NPM and having enough historical data in the
database. Reference: Monitor capacity usage trends on the network and forecast capacity issues in
NPM, Forecast capacity for nodes, interfaces, or volumes in NPM, Real-Time Network Monitoring

Question #3 (Topic: demo questions)
You can display Palo Alto firewalls on Orion Maps.
A.True
B.False
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Orion Maps 2.0 supports displaying Palo Alto firewalls as network devices, along with their
interfaces, zones, policies, and traffic data. You can also view the firewall status, alerts, and events on
the map. To add a Palo Alto firewall to an Orion Map, you need to have Network Insight for Palo Alto
enabled in NPM, and discover the firewall using SNMP and API polling. Reference: Orion Maps 2.0,

Question #4 (Topic: demo questions)
You inherit an environment with NPM and begin to receive High Traffic Utilization alerts from
interfaces. When you view the alert, the issue is resolved. How do you modify NPM to receive fewer
false alerts?
A.
Configure the alert so that it triggers only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period
B.
Configure the alert so that it resets only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period
C.
Increase the status polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
D.
Increase the statistics polling frequency on the problematic interfaces
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
High Traffic Utilization alerts are triggered when the interface’s received or transmitted percent
utilization exceeds a specified threshold. However, this may not reflect the actual network
congestion, as traffic spikes can occur momentarily and then subside. To avoid false alerts, you can
configure the alert to trigger only when the traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period,
such as 5 minutes or more. This way, you can filter out the transient traffic peaks and focus on the
persistent issues that affect the network performance. Reference:
