SolarWinds Certified Professional – Network Performance Monitor — Question 22

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?

Answer options

• 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: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because increasing the statistics polling frequency allows for more accurate data collection, leading to better detection of actual high traffic conditions. Options A and B do not directly address the root cause of false alerts, while option C may not provide the necessary detail about traffic utilization.
