Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • In the Discovery Classification record

    Why this is correct

    The Classification record allows you to associate a pattern to be executed upon successful identification of the CI type.

  • In the ECC Queue

    Why it's wrong here

    The ECC queue is the transport mechanism, not a configuration point.

  • In the Discovery Schedule

    Why it's wrong here

    Schedules do not configure specific pattern triggering logic.

  • In the CI Identification Rule

    Why it's wrong here

    Identification rules handle matching, not pattern triggering.
