SolarWinds Certified Professional – Network Performance Monitor — Question 18

In which scenario is an agent the best solution?

Answer options

• A. If you cannot allow ICMP polling on your routers
• B. If hosts in distributed networks have overlapping IP addresses
• C. If the WMI ports are already in use on Linux
• D. If Native GLX log file monitoring is required

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because agents can effectively monitor specific log files like Native GLX logs directly on the host, which is essential for detailed log analysis. Options A, B, and C do not specifically highlight scenarios where an agent would be the best choice for monitoring, as they pertain more to network configurations or existing port usage rather than direct file monitoring.
