Question #: 11
Topic #: 2
Users report that NPM performance is slow when managing devices through the Orion Web Console. You verify the SNMP trapping is responsible for the poor performance. How do you resolve this issue?
A.
Add the devices as managed nodes to cut down on the trap messages received
B.
Point the devices to a trap manager and filter unwanted messages before forwarding remaining traps to the Orion Platform
C.
Reduce the number of days SNMP messages are kept in the SolarWinds Trap Viewer
D.
Add an Additional Web Server to handle the load of users accessing the NPM Orion Web Console
SNMP traps are unsolicited messages sent by network devices to report events or issues. If NPM receives too many traps from devices that are not managed by NPM, or traps that are not relevant for monitoring, the performance of the Orion Web Console can be affected. To resolve this issue, you can point the devices to a trap manager, such as Kiwi Syslog Server, and configure it to filter out unwanted traps before forwarding the remaining ones to the Orion Platform. This way, NPM will only process the traps that are important for monitoring and alerting, and reduce the load on the database and web server.
