Q

How would you setup an alert to trigger when the Adobe Acrobat Update Service in a Windows machine is Down? You are monitoring the service via Windows Service Monitor in SAM

A
  1. Set the Scope as “Only following set of objects” with these settings: Component “is equal to” with a value of Adobe Acrobat Update Service
  2. set Trigger as: Component > Status > “is equal to” > Down
  3. Set Trigger as: Node > Status > “is not equal to” > Down​​
24
Q

A

VMWARE API, Common Information Model (CIM)

25
Q

True or False:

If you change a configuration setting or component monitor at the template level, all application monitors based on that template are affected.

For example, if you adjust a threshold for a component monitor, that change is applied to the same component monitor in all application monitors based on the template.

A

TRUE

26
Q

How many nodes can a template be assigned to?

A

Unlimited

27
Q

True or False:
Changing the configuration setting or component monitors at the template level afffects all application monitors based on that template

A

TRUE

28
Q

You can assign this SAM application monitor template to a node to test the ability of a DNS server to respond to a record query, and measure its responsiveness.

A

DNS User Experience

29
Q

What are the two options for creating new templates

A
  1. Create component monitors using the Component Monitor Template Wizard and add them to a new template.
  2. Create a fresh template without component monitors.
30
Q

Will Any future changes to a component setting made at the template level affects that node’s component setting for that application?

A

NO

31
Q

.amp-template

31
Q

When importing templtes to Solarwinds SAM, what should be the file extension of the XML file?

.amp-template

32
Q

A

AppInsight templates

33
Q

AppInsight for Exchange works only with the Mailbox Role. All other Exchange servers running different roles should use the what application monitor template to monitor them

A

Exchange application monitor templates

34
Q

What are the 2 Communication modes for Solarwinds Agent in SAM?

A

Server-Initiated and Agent-Initiated

35
Q

Any communication between your SolarWinds Platform server or additional polling engines and the agent is initiated by the SolarWinds Platform server itself. To allow communication from the SolarWinds Platform server, the firewall service running on the monitored device or the network firewall must allow incoming connections through port 17790. If the agent is configured to use another port, update the firewall rules to allow incoming connections from the other port.

A

Server-Initiated

36
Q

This communication method is also known as an active agent. In active mode, there are no listening ports on the agent.

Any communication between your SolarWinds Platform server or additional polling engines and the agent service is initiated by the agent service itself. Update your firewall rules to allow outgoing connections through port 17778 to enable communication between the agent and the SolarWinds Platform server.

A

Agent-Initated

37
Q

This communication method is also known as an active agent. In active mode, there are no listening ports on the agent.

Any communication between your SolarWinds Platform server or additional polling engines and the agent service is initiated by the agent service itself. Update your firewall rules to allow outgoing connections through port 17778 to enable communication between the agent and the SolarWinds Platform server.

A

Agent-Initated

38
Q

Solarwinds Agent is supported on what following OS?

A

Windows, LInux, AIX

38
Q

This communication method is most useful when the agent is installed on a network separated from your SolarWinds Platform server by one or more NAT devices, and you have no easy way to connect the two.

A

Agent-Initiated

39
Q

How can you import a template?

A

Filesystem or THWACK

40
Q

TRUE OT FALSE:

Agents run independently of the SolarWinds Platform server and can monitor hosts even if a network outage occurs. For up to 24 hours, an agent can continue running and all polled data remains cached on the agent. When connectivity is restored, the agent uploads collected statistics to the SolarWinds Platform server, filling in gaps in charts.

A

TRUE

41
Q

TRUE or FALSE:

When working with application monitor templates, agentless polling executes locally on the Main Polling Engine (which may be the SolarWinds Platform server) or an Additional Polling Engine (APE), by default.

A

TRUE

42
Q

What data is subject to statistical baseline calculation?

A

CPU Load, Percent Memory Used, Response Time, Percent Loss
Interface Utilization and Percent Disk Usage

43
Q

By default, baseline calculations are based on data collected during how many days. Node baseline calculations are performed daily, and interface baseline calculations are performed weekly on Sunday.

A

7 days

44
Q

By default, baseline calculations are based on data collected during how many days. Node baseline calculations are performed daily, and interface baseline calculations are performed weekly on Sunday.

A

7 days

45
Q

What information can you found from Asset Inventory subview?

A

System Information, Processors, memory, Network Interfaces, Logical Volumes

46
Q

What information can you found from Asset Inventory subview?

A

System Information, Processors, memory, Network Interfaces, Logical Volumes

47
Q

How is an application’s status determined?

A

if an application has a down component, the application status is down

if an application has a warning component, the application status is warning

if an application has a critical component, the application status is critical

if an application has an unknown component, the application status is unknown

Else, the application status is up

48
Q

TRUE or FALSE:

If you have a node-based SAM license:

Each node with at least one API-monitored metric counts as a managed SAM node.

A

TRUE

49
Q

WinRM is the default transport method for WMI-based component monitors

Starting SAM 2020.2, WinRM is the default transport method for WMI-based component monitors that gather data from target nodes for component monitoris

A fallback mechanism automatically switches to legacy RPC/DCOM polling, if necessary.

Component that use WinRM require a single open port:

What ports should be opened?

A

5985 (HTTP) or 5986 (HTTPS)
