MCQhard

An administrator is troubleshooting a Service Mapping map where a load balancer is mapped correctly, but the backend web servers are missing from the topology. Upon checking the traffic connections, the traffic is visible, but the map traversal stopped. What is the most common reason for this behavior in Service Mapping?

A.The CMDB Query Builder cache expired during the scan.
B.The discovery pattern lacks the specific extension or credentials to traverse from the load balancer to the backend nodes.
C.The cmdb_rel_ci table has exceeded maximum indexing thresholds.
D.The CMDB Health Correctness rule flagged the load balancer as a duplicate.
AnswerB

Traversal failure between load balancers and backend nodes typically stems from missing credentials, port configurations, or pattern steps.

Why this answer

Service Mapping requires discovery credentials and patterns to traverse from load balancers to backend nodes; if credentials fail or patterns aren't assigned, mapping stops.

16
MCQhard

A user is utilizing Dependency Views to analyze a critical business application outage. The map displays multiple downstream relationships, but one expected server CI is missing from the view. What is the most likely cause for this behavior in Service Mapping and Dependency Views?

A.The CI class of the server does not belong to the cmdb_ci table hierarchy.
B.The server CI has a 'Retired' lifecycle stage, which completely purges it from the CMDB database.
C.The relationship record between the application and the server does not exist in the cmdb_rel_ci table.
D.Dependency Views only render relationships up to two hops by default and cannot be expanded.
AnswerC

Dependency Views traverse the cmdb_rel_ci table; if the relationship record is absent, the child node cannot be displayed.

Why this answer

Dependency Views render relationships based on the cmdb_rel_ci table and respect filter rules. If a CI is missing, it may be due to missing relationship records, or filter configurations omitting specific relationship types.

30
MCQhard

While reviewing the CMDB Dashboard, an administrator notices a high number of duplicate CIs flagged under the Correctness score. What mechanism should be reviewed and tuned to prevent these duplicate records from being continuously created by incoming integrations?

A.Data Certification filter criteria
B.Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) identification rules
C.CI class manager inheritance settings
D.Dependency Views layout engines
AnswerB

IRE identification rules dictate how incoming payloads match existing CIs; misconfigured rules lead to duplicate creation.

Why this answer
