For any node you monitor, you cannot use Network Discovery to automatically add child volumes or interfaces for monitoring. Network Discovery is a tool that helps you identify and add new devices to your network, but it does not automatically monitor all the components of the discovered devices. You need to manually select the volumes or interfaces you want to monitor from the list of resources on each node. You can also use the Network Sonar Results Wizard to filter and add the resources you want to monitor after running a discovery job.Reference:

Discover your network with NPM - SolarWinds(see the Monitoring Settings panel section)

According to the SolarWinds NPM Administrator Guide, you can assign different permissions to user accounts to control their access and actions in the Orion Platform. One of the permissions is ''Allow Account to Clear Events and Acknowledge Alerts and Syslogs'', which enables the user to acknowledge alerts, clear events, and mark syslogs as read. This permission is required for a user to be able to acknowledge alerts, as acknowledging an alert stops the escalation process and provides an audit trail. The other permissions listed are not related to alert acknowledgment. ''Allow Account to Unmanage Objects'' allows the user to temporarily stop monitoring selected network objects. ''Allow Node Management Rights'' allows the user to add, edit, and delete nodes and interfaces. ''Allow Administrator Rights'' grants the user full access to all Orion Platform features and settings.Reference:SolarWinds NPM Administrator Guide, page 69-70;Add or remove an alert acknowledgment.

Account limitations are a way of restricting the access of Orion user accounts to specific network objects, such as nodes, interfaces, groups, maps, or alerts. You can use account limitations to prevent a user from seeing or working with select monitored entities through the SolarWinds server. For example, you can limit a user to see only the nodes in a certain group, or only the maps that they have created. You can apply account limitations to individual users or user groups, and you can choose from predefined limitations or create custom limitations based on custom properties. The other options are not effective ways of limiting user access to monitored entities, as they either affect the monitoring status of the entities (unmanage), the permissions of the entities themselves (configure permissions), or the alerting scope of the entities (configure alert limitations).Reference:

Orion agents are software components that you can install on nodes to collect and send data to the Orion server. Orion agents do not require a separate license, as they are included in the license of the Orion Platform product that you are using, such as NPM. You can install and use as many agents as you need, as long as you do not exceed the number of licensed nodes, interfaces, or volumes for your product. Orion agents can use either agent-initiated or server-initiated communication, depending on your network configuration and security requirements.Reference:NPM Administrator Guide, page 67;SCP Study Aid - NPM, page 15.

Network Discovery is a feature of SolarWinds NPM that allows you to automatically discover and add network devices to the Orion Platform for monitoring. You can use Network Discovery to query Domain Controllers in your company domain and then select the Organizational Units (OUs) with the registered devices you want to scan. This way, you can add entities from NPM to monitor for all registered devices in your company domain in a single discovery. The other options are not as efficient or accurate as Network Discovery, as they either require manual addition of each device, or rely on the Domain Controllers to provide the list of registered devices, which may not be up-to-date or complete.Reference:
