SERVICENOW-CIS-DISCOVERY Practice Test 6 — 10 Questions

Question 1

Why would you choose to use a 'Discovery Behavior' instead of the default behavior?

Accepted Answer

To limit or extend the probes used for specific discovery scenarios.. Custom behaviors are used when you need to run a specific, non-default set of probes or patterns for a target.

Answer

To update the CMDB identification rules.

Answer

To define the IP range for the discovery.

Answer

To change the schedule of the discovery.

Question 2

Which of the following would be the best reason to create a custom Discovery Behavior?

Accepted Answer

To control which probes are run for a specific type of device.. Custom behaviors are often used to exclude specific, resource-intensive patterns or include only relevant probes for specialized equipment.

Answer

To define the IP range for a subnet.

Answer

To manage MID Server credentials.

Answer

To schedule discovery at a different time.

Question 3

If a MID Server is 'Down', what happens to Discovery schedules assigned to it?

Accepted Answer

The discovery job will fail or not execute.. Discovery will not run if the assigned MID server is offline, as there is no path to the target network.

Answer

The discovery remains in a 'Ready' state.

Answer

The schedule automatically switches to another MID.

Answer

The schedule runs on the next available MID Server.

Question 4

You are tasked with ensuring that Discovery only populates the 'Short Description' field on a CI if it is currently empty. Which IRE feature allows for this conditional update?

Accepted Answer

IRE Data Source Rules with 'Skip if not empty' logic. The 'Apply to' and conditional logic in the IRE or Data Source rules allows for fine-grained control over attribute updates.

Answer

Business Rule on the CI table

Answer

Discovery Pattern Step: 'Update only if empty'

Answer

Reconciliation Rule Priority

Question 5

Which TWO of the following are components of the Discovery process?

Accepted Answer

Shazzam. Shazzam and Exploration are key phases of the Discovery lifecycle.

Answer

Incident Management

Answer

Workflow Designer

Answer

Service Mapping

Question 6

Which THREE of the following are true about Discovery Behaviors?

Accepted Answer

They define which probes to use. Behaviors can be assigned to multiple schedules, can use custom probe lists, and default behaviors are available.

Answer

They automatically update the CMDB

Answer

They manage the MID Server cluster affinity

Question 7

What is the consequence of deleting a Discovery Schedule?

Accepted Answer

It prevents future automated runs of that schedule.. Deleting the schedule stops all future automated discovery scans associated with that schedule.

Answer

It breaks the MID Server.

Answer

It forces a full re-discovery.

Answer

It deletes all previously discovered CIs.

Question 8

When a discovery scan is running very slowly, which configuration adjustment might improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Increasing the number of concurrent tasks on the MID Server.. Adjusting the 'Max number of concurrent discovery tasks' on the MID Server can improve throughput.

Answer

Adding more IP ranges to the schedule.

Answer

Deleting all existing CI records.

Answer

Changing the Discovery schedule to 'Weekly'.

Question 9

Which TWO of the following are valid ways to define the scope of a Discovery scan?

Accepted Answer

IP Address ranges. Discovery ranges can be defined by specific IP address ranges or by using individual IP addresses.

Answer

Schedule Behaviors

Answer

MID Server Capability

Answer

Credential profiles

Question 10

When troubleshooting a specific device, how can you see exactly what was returned by the probes?

Accepted Answer

View the ECC Queue records related to the status.. The Discovery Status record allows you to drill down into the 'Devices' and 'ECC Queue' to see the raw input data.

Answer

Run the discovery again.

Answer

Check the MID Server logs.

Answer

View the CI record.
