SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability – Network Monitoring — Question 11

Several resources are showing duplicate flow data. What is the most likely cause?

Answer options

• A. interfaces have duplicate entries in flow sources management
• B. interfaces in flow sources management are set to drop
• C. SolarWinds’ NetFlow service needs to be restarted
• D. source devices are configured to export flow data on ingress and egress

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when source devices send flow data for both ingress and egress traffic, it results in duplicate flow data being reported. The other options do not directly lead to duplicate flow data; for instance, option A refers to duplicate entries which may not necessarily cause duplication in data collection.
