C0010000 IBM Certified Administrator – IBM Netcool Operations Insight v1.6.1 Practice Exam
Exam Number: 4368 | Last updated April 17, 2026 | 371+ questions across 5 vendor-aligned objectives
Monitoring administrators who operate IBM Netcool Operations Insight v1.6.1 target the C0010000 credential. Netcool OI combines ObjectServer event management with Operations Analytics and Impact policy automation, and this exam validates end-to-end administration across the suite. Candidates should be fluent with probes and gateways, event-processing rules, impact policies, and the web GUI event views.
Amassing 26% of the exam, Event Collection and Enrichment covers probes, gateways, deduplication, and event-processing rules. At 22%, ObjectServer Administration covers triggers, procedures, automation, and the SQL interface that keeps ObjectServer running. A further 20% targets Impact Policies, covering policy authoring, data-source configuration, and integration with enrichment sources.
Latching onto the remaining domains, Web GUI and Dashboards accounts for 18% and spans event views, dashboards, and user-interface customization. Operations Analytics represents 14% and spans log ingestion, search, and dashboard composition. Administrators should expect scenario questions where the right answer is split between ObjectServer triggers and Impact policies — pick based on what kind of logic is involved and how quickly it must fire.

10 of 371+ questions
Question #1 - Event Collection and Enrichment
A Netcool OI v1.6.1 admin at Harborton Telecom must onboard events from a new SNMP-trap source.
Which v1.6.1 event-collection capability fits?
A) Deploy the appropriate Netcool SNMP probe, configure its rules file to parse the traps into ObjectServer fields, and route events via a probe-to-ObjectServer gateway
B) Email SNMP traps to the operations team
C) Skip probes and point the source at a random TCP port
D) Print traps to a paper log
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Netcool SNMP probe with rules plus gateway is the v1.6.1 event-collection reference. Email, random ports, and paper logs all fail event collection. Source: Check Source
Question #2 - Event Collection and Enrichment
A Netcool OI v1.6.1 admin at Felmoreland Power sees duplicate events crowding the event list.
Which v1.6.1 enrichment concept fits?
A) Enable deduplication logic in the probe rules or ObjectServer so repeated identical events increment a tally counter rather than creating new rows
B) Accept the duplicates as a fact of life
C) Delete duplicates manually each morning
D) Disable event collection entirely to avoid duplicates
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Deduplication via rules or ObjectServer is the Netcool v1.6.1 reference. Accept, manual delete, and collection-off all fail enrichment. Source: Check Source
Question #3 - Event Collection and Enrichment
A v1.6.1 admin at Carleford Telecom must add an environment tag to every event from a specific data center.
Which v1.6.1 mechanism fits?
A) Ask operators to tag events manually each time
B) Use a probe-level rule or an ObjectServer trigger to set the environment field based on source matching, enriching every event consistently
C) Skip tagging and hope the data-center is obvious from context
D) Delete events from that data center to avoid the issue
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Rule-based enrichment at probe or ObjectServer level is the v1.6.1 reference. Manual tagging, skipping, and deletion all fail enrichment. Source: Check Source
Question #4 - ObjectServer Administration
A v1.6.1 admin at Larchway Telecom finds an ObjectServer automation not firing as expected.
Which v1.6.1 admin practice fits?
A) Restart every ObjectServer process
B) Review the ObjectServer trigger and its associated procedure for the expected condition, check the automation trigger’s enable state, and inspect alerts.status changes to see whether the trigger fires at the expected times
C) Rewrite the entire automation from scratch without diagnosis
D) Disable all triggers
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Trigger procedure review with state inspection is the ObjectServer admin reference. Restart loops, blind rewrites, and disabling all fail admin practice. Source: Check Source
Question #5 - ObjectServer Administration
A v1.6.1 admin at Parkvale Networks must schedule an ObjectServer maintenance operation to clear old resolved events daily.
Which v1.6.1 admin capability fits?
A) Manually run DELETE statements every morning
B) Configure an ObjectServer automation with a time-based trigger and a procedure that deletes events matching the resolved and aged criteria at the scheduled interval
C) Export the database and reimport without old events
D) Disable ObjectServer during off-hours
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Time-based ObjectServer automations are the v1.6.1 maintenance reference. Manual runs, export/reimport, and stop-start cycles all fail admin practice. Source: Check Source
Question #6 - Impact Policies
A Netcool OI v1.6.1 admin at Nettlebank Comms must automate enrichment from an external asset database.
Which v1.6.1 capability fits?
A) Skip enrichment entirely
B) Do the enrichment manually for every event
C) Copy the asset database into ObjectServer nightly and ignore drift
D) Author an Impact policy that reads the external asset database via a configured data source and enriches the event with asset attributes (owner, location, criticality)
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
Impact policies with external data sources are the v1.6.1 enrichment reference. Manual enrichment, stale copies, and skipping all fail impact automation. Source: Check Source
Question #7 - Impact Policies
A v1.6.1 admin at Oldglebe Telecom wants Impact to auto-create a ticket in an external ITSM when severity-1 events appear.
Which v1.6.1 approach fits?
A) Configure an Impact policy that triggers on severity-1 events, calls the ITSM’s REST or web-service interface, and records the returned ticket ID back into the event
B) Have operators copy event data into the ITSM by hand
C) Skip ticketing and hope someone notices
D) Disable Impact for severity-1 events
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Severity-triggered Impact policy with ITSM integration is the v1.6.1 reference. Manual copy, no-ticket, and Impact-off all fail automation. Source: Check Source
Question #8 - Web GUI and Dashboards
A v1.6.1 admin at Ridgebrook Networks must give NOC analysts a focused event view by severity and service.
Which v1.6.1 Web GUI capability fits?
A) Email event CSV exports hourly
B) Share a single generic view with every role
C) Create an event view with filter and column configurations per the NOC’s needs, saved under the appropriate dashboard, with access granted to the NOC group
D) Print event lists to the NOC bulletin board
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
Saved event views with per-role access is the v1.6.1 Web GUI reference. Shared generic views, CSV email, and printouts all fail the feature. Source: Check Source
Question #9 - Web GUI and Dashboards
A v1.6.1 dashboard at Hentgate Comms needs to combine event counts with topology context in one view.
Which v1.6.1 Web GUI feature fits?
A) Email PDF snapshots weekly
B) Keep event and topology views in separate tabs with no integration
C) Build a dashboard that combines event-count widgets with a topology widget driven by the same data source, so analysts see both in context
D) Skip dashboards and rely on the command line
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
Combined event-plus-topology dashboards is the v1.6.1 Web GUI reference. Separate-tabs, PDFs, and CLI-only all fail dashboard composition. Source: Check Source
Question #10 - Operations Analytics
A v1.6.1 admin at Lindenstowe Utility wants to search logs alongside events for incident investigation.
Which v1.6.1 Operations Analytics capability fits?
A) Delete logs to simplify investigation
B) Ignore logs and rely only on events
C) Tail log files on each host manually
D) Ingest logs into Operations Analytics for the relevant sources, and use its search and dashboard surfaces to correlate log patterns with event spikes during investigations
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
Ops Analytics log ingest with search/dashboards is the v1.6.1 analytics reference. Event-only, manual tailing, and deletion all fail analytics practice. Source: Check Source
