ServiceNow CIS-Discovery Certified Implementation Specialist - Discovery Exam Practice Test

Answer : A

In ServiceNow Discovery, relationships between Configuration Items (CIs) in a horizontal pattern are created using the 'Create Relation/Reference' operation. This operation allows the pattern to define and establish relationships or references between discovered CIs, based on the information gathered during the discovery process. Options B and C are incorrect as relationships are not automatically created nor is it true that they cannot be created via patterns. Option D, 'Create Connections,' is not a standard operation in this context. Reference = ServiceNow Discovery documentation, specifically the sections on creating and managing horizontal discovery patterns.

Answer : D

Without seeing the specific image, it's challenging to definitively identify the operation. However, based on the options provided, if the image shows an operation that involves interpreting or extracting data from a variable, then 'Parse Variable' is the most likely answer. 'Parse Variable' is used in ServiceNow Discovery patterns to analyze and extract data from variables collected during the discovery process. Reference = ServiceNow Discovery documentation, particularly the sections on Discovery Pattern Designer and the various operations that can be used in patterns.

Answer : C

When increasing the maximum number of threads for a MID Server in ServiceNow Discovery, it's often necessary to also increase the memory allocated to the MID Server application. This is because more threads can result in higher memory usage as each thread may consume resources while performing discovery tasks. Increasing disk space, updating ACL rules for CMDB tables, or increasing the MID Server max payload size are not directly related to the number of threads used by a MID Server. Reference = ServiceNow Discovery documentation, especially sections discussing MID Server configuration and performance tuning.

Answer : A, B, D

In a Merge Table pattern operation within ServiceNow Discovery, the editable fields typically include the Target Table, Second Table, and First Table. These fields are configurable and allow users to specify the tables involved in the merge operation. The Target Table is where the merged data will be stored, while the First and Second Tables are the source tables whose data is being merged. The Primary Table is not typically an editable field in this context. Reference = ServiceNow Discovery documentation, particularly the sections discussing pattern design and operations, including Merge Table operations within Discovery Patterns.

Answer : A, B, C

The main Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the CMDB Health scorecard in ServiceNow include Correctness, Completeness, and Staleness. These KPIs are critical for assessing the overall health and quality of the CMDB. Correctness refers to the accuracy of the data in the CMDB, Completeness measures whether all required CI data is present, and Staleness indicates the freshness or timeliness of the CI data. Compliance and Duplicates, while important, are not considered main KPIs in the context of the CMDB Health scorecard. Reference = ServiceNow CMDB documentation and CMDB Health Dashboard user guide, focusing on the key performance indicators for CMDB health.

Answer : B, D

In the ServiceNow Discovery module, under the Recommended Actions pane for an Automated Error Messages list within Discovery > Home, the possible options under ACTION ON ALL include 'View instructions' and 'Retry Discovery'. 'View instructions' allows users to see guidance on how to address the errors, while 'Retry Discovery' enables users to reinitiate the discovery process for the affected devices. 'Make Ranges' and 'Ping IP Addresses' are not standard options in this context. Reference = ServiceNow Discovery documentation and user guides, particularly those discussing the management of automated error messages and recommended actions in Discovery.

Answer : A, D

In the context of ServiceNow Discovery patterns, the types of temporary variables include Scalar/List and Tabular/Table. Scalar/List variables are used to store single values or lists of values, while Tabular/Table variables are used to store structured data in a table format. Command and SQL statement are not types of temporary variables; rather, they are types of operations or steps that can be used within a pattern to execute commands or SQL queries. Reference = ServiceNow Discovery documentation, especially sections related to Discovery Patterns and the use of temporary variables within patterns.
