SolarWinds Exam SCP-NPM Topic 13 Question 41 Discussion

Actual exam question for SolarWinds's SCP-NPM exam

Question #: 41
Topic #: 13

You start a new job where NPM is already in use. As soon as you are added to the alert list, you begin receiving ''high traffic utilization'' alerts from a handful of interfaces.

When you check the alert, the traffic spike has ended. Your new colleagues advise you to ignore these alerts because the spikes rarely last for more than a couple of minutes and are only a concern if they last longer.

How should NPM be modified so you receive fewer false alerts?

AConfigure the alert so that it triggers only when traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period

BConfigure the alert so that it resets only when traffic utilization remains high fora sustained period

CIncrease the status polling frequency on the problematic interfaces

DIncrease the statistics polling frequency on the problematic interfaces

I think we should go with option A. It makes sense to trigger the alert only when the traffic utilization remains high for a sustained period.
