Free CIS-Discovery Practice Questions

Explore 6 free practice questions for the Servicenow CIS-Discovery exam and review the answers and explanations to support your preparation.

  1. Question 1

    Single answer

    When installing a MID Server on a Windows platform, which right must be associated when creating
    a Service Account?

    • Option A:
      Local Admin

      Correct
    • Option B:
      Domain Admin

      Correct
    • Option C:
      MID Server User Role

      Correct
    • Option D:
      Log on as service
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: D

    Explanation

    The Service Account for the MID Server must have the Log on as service right on the Windows
    platform. This right allows the MID Server to run as a Windows service and communicate with the
    ServiceNow instance. The Service Account does not need to have local or domain admin rights, as
    these are not required for the MID Server functionality. The MID Server User Role is a role on the
    ServiceNow instance, not on the Windows platform, and it is used to control the access and
    permissions of the MID Server on the instance.

  2. Question 2

    Single answer

    Which best describes Discovery schedule of type Configuration Item?


    • Option A:
      Verifies Configuration Item data from the scanned IP ranges against the data in the CMDB.

      Correct
    • Option B:
      Creates only a list of discovered IPs in both IPv4 and IPv6 formats.

      Correct
    • Option C:
      Collects complete information from the scanned IP ranges and sends it to the CMDB.

      Correct
    • Option D:
      Directly populates records in the assets table.
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: C

    Explanation

    A Discovery schedule of type Configuration Item collects complete information from the scanned IP
    ranges and sends it to the CMDB. This type of schedule runs a series of probes and sensors to identify
    and classify the devices and applications on the network, and to create or update the corresponding
    configuration items in the CMDB. A Discovery schedule of type Configuration Item can also run
    patterns to discover more details and relationships about the configuration items.

  3. Question 3

    Single answer

    For the Parse Variable pattern operation, what is required to have two different parsing methods to
    populate variables?

    • Option A:
      Two different Debug Mode sessions.

      Correct
    • Option B:
      A tabular and a scalar variable.

      Correct
    • Option C:
      Two different steps.

      Correct
    • Option D:
      Two different Define Parsing selections on the same step.
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: C

    Explanation

    The Parse Variable pattern operation allows you to extract information from the output of a previous
    operation and save it in a variable. You can choose from different parsing methods, such as JSON File,
    XML File, Regular Expression, or Custom Script. To have two different parsing methods to populate
    variables, you need to use two different steps, each with a different Define Parsing selection. For
    example, you can use one step to parse a JSON file and another step to parse an XML file. You cannot
    use two different parsing methods on the same step, as the Define Parsing selection is unique for
    each step.

  4. Question 4

    Single answer

    Refer to the exhibit

    Based on the following images, which choice best describes what occurs if Discovery sets the name
    attribute of a discovered Windows Server CI to 'Windows1' and then Altiris discovery runs detecting
    'Windows2' for the name attribute on the same CI?

    • Option A:
      The name of the CI stays 'Windows1'.

      Correct
    • Option B:
      The name of the CI changes to 'Windows2'.

      Correct
    • Option C:
      The name of the CI does not populate with either discovery.

      Correct
    • Option D:
      The CI is not discovered because Discovery is not listed in either image.
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: B

    Explanation

    In ServiceNow Discovery, the reconciliation process is governed by precedence
    rules. These rules determine which data source’s information will be retained if there are
    conflicts when multiple sources discover the same CI. In this case, Altiris has a higher order of
    precedence (300) compared to ServiceNow (100), as seen in the “Data Source Precedents”
    section of the image. Therefore, if Altiris discovers ‘Windows2’ for the name attribute on the
    same CI after ServiceNow sets it to ‘Windows1’, the name will change to ‘Windows2’ due to
    Altiris’s higher precedence. Reference: The explanation is inferred from understanding how
    reconciliation and data source precedents work in ServiceNow Discovery, though not directly
    quoted from specific documents. You can find more information on these topics in the
    following links: Reconciliation Data source precedents

  5. Question 5

    Multiple answers

    Based on this image, which of the following statements are true? (Choose three.)

    • Option A:
      Attributes from two tables populate a table with the same name as a ServiceNow CMDB table.

      Correct
    • Option B:
      This operation is more than likely a part of a step on a pattern set to Application Pattern Type.

      Correct
    • Option C:
      If a value is unmatched, it is still merged into the Target Table.

      Correct
    • Option D:
      For this operation to run, there must be some data in the process.executablePath variable.

      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A, B, D

    Explanation

    information about web servers1.
    B is true because the merge table operation is typically used for application patterns, which are
    horizontal patterns that discover applications and their dependencies. The condition on the process.executablePath variable suggests that the operation is looking for a specific application
    (mongoose) running on the web servers.
    D is true because the merge table operation requires at least one matching field value between the
    two source tables1. In this case, the process.executablePath variable is the matching field, and it
    must contain “mongoose” for the operation to run.

  6. Question 6

    Multiple answers

    Refer to the exhibit


    Based on this image, which of the following statements are true? (Choose three.)

    • Option A:
      Attributes from two tables populate a table with the same name as a ServiceNow CMDB table.

      Correct
    • Option B:
      This operation is more than likely a part of a step on a pattern set to Application Pattern Type.

      Correct
    • Option C:
      If a value is unmatched, it is still merged into the Target Table.

      Correct
    • Option D:
      For this operation to run, there must be some data in the process.executablePath variable.

      Correct
    • Option E:
      This is a horizontal pattern of type "infrastructure."
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A, B, D

    Explanation

    A is true because the target table $cmdb_ci_web_server is a ServiceNow CMDB table that stores
    information about web servers1.
    B is true because the merge table operation is typically used for application patterns, which are
    horizontal patterns that discover applications and their dependencies. The condition on the 
    process.executablePath variable suggests that the operation is looking for a specific application
    (mongoose) running on the web servers.
    D is true because the merge table operation requires at least one matching field value between the
    two source tables1. In this case, the process.executablePath variable is the matching field, and it
    must contain “mongoose” for the operation to run.
