Question 1

Which is not true for Device Studio Poller? 

  1. Option A:
    Collects data from Orion Failover Engine or Hot Standby Engines
  2. Option B:
    Can perform logical operations or transformations on the polled data
  3. Option C:
    Polled values are displayed in existing resources
  4. Option D:
    Can poll multiple OIDs for a given technology
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Device Studio Poller is a feature that allows users to create custom pollers for devices or technologies that are not supported by default in NPM. It can poll multiple OIDs for a given technology, perform logical operations or transformations on the polled data, and display the polled values in existing resources. However, it does not collect data from Orion Failover Engine or Hot Standby Engines, which are features of Orion High Availability that ensure continuous monitoring in case of primary server failure12.

Question 2

How does NPM calculate capacity usage trends?

  1. Option A:
    Volume capacity
  2. Option B:
    Average calculation
  3. Option C:
    Capacity forecasting widget
  4. Option D:
    Historical data
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D

Capacity usage trends are calculated based on historical data. By default, the longest time period taken into account for calculating the capacity forecast is 180 days. The more historical data up to 180 days are available, the more precise is the calculated forecast. Forecast calculation methods include peak calculation and average calculation, which can be set globally or customized for individual objects. Capacity forecasting is available for nodes, interfaces, and volumes that meet certain requirements, such as being managed in NPM and having enough historical data in the database.
