NetPath in SolarWinds NPM and what path information does it provide?

• A. NetPath stores historical route data in a separate log file only.
• B. NetPath analyzes DNS resolution times.
• C. NetPath analyzes the route from the Orion server to a destination, showing hops, latency, jitter, packet loss, traceroute-like data, and path availability.
• D. NetPath provides only uptime statistics for devices.

Answer: (C)

NetPath provides end-to-end visibility of the path from the Orion server to a chosen destination. It maps the route and shows each hop along the way, along with performance metrics for that path: latency (round-trip time), jitter, and any packet loss. It also provides a traceroute-like view of the route so you can see the actual devices and interfaces the traffic traverses. In addition, NetPath reports on path availability and how the route may change over time, helping you pinpoint where delays or failures occur—whether inside your network, across the WAN, or on the Internet.
