CIS - Discovery
Discovery Source - Answer-A field that denotes how a CI record was created in ServiceNow
ServiceWatch (Discovery Source) - Answer-Discovery Source field value for Service Mapping
ServiceNow (Discovery Source) - Answer-Discovery Source field value for Discovery application
Most Recent Discovery - Answer-Field that denotes when a CI was last discovered. Can be used for
aging CI reports
Correctness (CMDB Health) - Answer-Duplicate: Multiple records for the same CI. Orphan: No
relationships, or defined as an Orphan. Staleness: Aging CIs, default is 60 days
Compliance (CMDB Health) - Answer-Audit: Desired State - Certification Filters and Templates to
compare the actual state of CIs to a desired state
Completeness (CMDB Health) - Answer-Required: Mandatory fields for a CI in the data dictionary.
Recommended: Recommended fields for a CI.
, CMDB Dashboard - Answer-Best place for a high level view of CMDB Health Completeness, Compliance,
and Correctness
5 Configuration Elements of CMDB - Answer-CMDB Health, Business Rules, Scheduled Jobs, Data
Policies, and Notifications
Absent (CI State) - Answer-Pattern debugging will not work for the host if this is the current state
How to find a PID (Process ID) on a Host CI - Answer-Running Processes Related List > PID Column
How to find a PID on a Windows box - Answer-Task Manager > Details Tab > PID Column
set Parameter Value - Answer-Operation used to declare and define variables in Pattern Designer
Test (Pattern Designer) - Answer-Functionality to view the output of a pattern step.
This is also the only way to view the output of the final step in a pattern in Pattern Designer
Debug Type is available for patterns that are... - Answer-Application Patterns - This is because
Application Patterns can be used for Top Down (Service Mapping) or Horizontal Discovery. Infrastructure
patterns can only be used for Horizontal and so do not require this to be specified. Note: Top Down
debug mode requires an Entry Point, whereas Horizontal only requires a PID and an IP Address
