SolarWinds Certified Professional – Network Performance Monitor — Question 29
You receive traps from your network devices and want to alert on a select message. How do you accomplish this?
Answer options
- A. You cannot alert on traps through the Orion Platform
- B. Configure Syslog alert actions on the Alert Actions tab
- C. Use Traps in Orion Alerts to configure the default trap alert to fire on the trap message you select to alert on
- D. Go to the Traps view and configure a new Log Viewer rule
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C because it specifically allows you to configure alerts based on selected trap messages within the Orion Alerts system. Option A is incorrect as it states that alerts cannot be set for traps, which is false. Option B deals with Syslog alerts, which are not the same as traps, and Option D refers to Log Viewer rules that do not specifically address trap alerts.
