NEW QUESTION # 61
A CMDB Manager is in the Crawl stage of the organization's CMDB journey and wants to follow the Common Service Data Model.
Which CSDM domains are addressed at this stage?
(Choose two options.)
- A. Foundation
- B. Sell/Consume
- C. Manage Technical Services
- D. Design
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
The Crawl stage addresses the Foundation and Design domains. The Foundation domain establishes shared reference data and fundamental structures required by the rest of the service model, including organizations, locations, users, groups, products, and core CI information.
The Design domain introduces planning-level constructs such as Business Applications, Business Capabilities, Business Processes, and Information Objects. These records provide ownership, lifecycle, architecture, and portfolio context before the organization develops more advanced operational service models.
Manage Technical Services is addressed as the organization progresses into more mature technical service- delivery modelling, including Technical Services, Technical Service Offerings, Application Services, and their supporting CIs. Sell/Consume is associated with business-facing services, offerings, consumers, subscriptions, and service consumption.
Beginning with Foundation and Design ensures that the organization establishes trusted reference and planning data before implementing more complex operational and consumer-facing models.

NEW QUESTION # 62
The CMDB Administrator group aims to display meaningful results on the CMDB Health Dashboard - Compliance Scorecard for server records that are not on the latest patch.
What must be configured to achieve this goal?
- A. Stale, Orphan, Duplicate
- B. Certification Policies, Data Filters, Scheduled Jobs
- C. Certification Filter, Certification Template, Audit
- D. Technical Service Offerings, Dynamic CI Groups, CMDB Groups
Answer: B
Explanation:
In ServiceNow, the Compliance dimension of the CMDB Health Dashboard is driven by Data Certification.
To surface meaningful compliance results-such as identifying servers that are not on the latest patch-the platform requires a combination of Certification Policies, Data Filters, and Scheduled Jobs.
Certification Policies define what data must be validated and which attributes are subject to compliance checks (for example, patch level, OS version, or last update date). Data Filters scope the population-such as server classes only-ensuring the compliance evaluation targets the correct CIs. Scheduled Jobs automate when certifications run, keeping compliance scores current and reflective of the latest state.
Options A and C are incorrect because audits and stale/orphan/duplicate checks relate to other health dimensions (correctness and completeness), not compliance. Option B focuses on service modeling and group alignment, which does not directly drive compliance scoring for patch currency.
Therefore, configuring Certification Policies, Data Filters, and Scheduled Jobs is required to accurately measure and display patch compliance on the CMDB Health Dashboard.
NEW QUESTION # 63
The CMDB Administrator has set up two Dynamic Reconciliation Rules within the ServiceNow Production Instance. The 'Server' class has a Dynamic Reconciliation Rule of largest value for the RAM field. The 'Windows Server' class has a Dynamic Reconciliation Rule of most reported for the RAM field.
Given the above data inMultisource CMDB, which value is added to the CMDB forRAMfor aServer CI?
- A. 4,096 MB
- B. 8,192 MB
- C. 2,048 MB
Answer: B
Explanation:
This question hinges on understandingclass-specific Dynamic Reconciliation RulesinCMDB 360 / Multisource CMDBwithinServiceNow.
Although two different dynamic rules are configured,the rule applied depends on the CI class being evaluated:
For theServerclass, the configured rule isLargest valuefor the RAM attribute.
For theWindows Serverclass, the ruleMost reportedwould apply-butonly if the CI were evaluated as a Windows Server.
The question explicitly asks for the resulting RAM value for aServer CI, not a Windows Server CI. Therefore, theLargest valuerule governs the outcome.
Looking at the multisource values:
2,048 MB (LANDesk)
4,096 MB (Tivoli)
4,096 MB (ServiceNow)
8,192 MB (Altiris)
Under theLargest valuedynamic reconciliation rule, the IRE selects themaximum numeric value, regardless of how frequently it is reported or which source provided it.
TheMost reportedlogic (which would result in 4,096 MB) doesnot applyhere because that rule is configured for a different class (Windows Server).
This scenario illustrates an important CMDB 360 principle:Dynamic reconciliation is evaluated per class, and child-class rules do not override parent-class rules unless the CI is actually classified under that child class.
NEW QUESTION # 64
What is the difference between Data Certification and Attestation policies when managing a CI?
- A. Attestation can be assigned to a group or an individual, while Data Certification can only be assigned to an individual
- B. Attestation requires correcting specific attributes of a CI, while Data Certification tracks acknowledgement the CI still exists
- C. Attestation tracks acknowledgement the CI still exists, while Data Certification requires validating specific attributes of a CI
- D. Attestation can be scheduled, while Data Certification cannot be scheduled
Answer: C
Explanation:
Within ServiceNow CMDB governance, Attestation and Data Certification serve distinct but complementary purposes. The key difference lies in what is being validated.
Attestation is focused on existence and ownership confirmation. When a CI is attested, the assigned user or group is asked to confirm that the CI still exists, is still relevant, and is still owned or managed by the appropriate team. No detailed attribute-level validation is required. This lightweight process is commonly used to prevent "ghost CIs" from lingering in the CMDB.
Data Certification, on the other hand, is more rigorous. It requires the certifier to validate specific attributes of the CI, such as lifecycle status, support group, environment, or service relationships.
Certification ensures data correctness and completeness, which directly impacts CMDB Health scores and downstream processes like Change and Incident Management.
NEW QUESTION # 65
A healthcare provider faces a critical incident affecting its patient management system. The provider needs to determine the users impacted to mitigate disruption effectively.
Which CSDM-related data should they leverage?
- A. Affected CI [task_ci] related list
- B. Service Offerings by Department or Location
- C. Application Service environment attribute
- D. Incident history of similar CIs
Answer: B
Explanation:
CSDM is designed to connect technology delivery to business consumption so organizations can answer questions like "who is impacted?" quickly and consistently. In a critical incident, the healthcare provider needs to identify impacted users in business terms-clinicians, admin teams, specific sites, or departments- rather than only listing technical components.
Option D ("Service Offerings by Department or Location") is the most CSDM-aligned data because it reflects who consumes the service and how that consumption is segmented. In CSDM, a Business Service / Service Offering represents what customers consume, and the offering can be associated with organizational constructs such as department, business unit, or location. For healthcare, this is especially valuable because impact is often location-based (hospital site, clinic) and role-based (patient intake, scheduling, ward operations). Using service offerings and their consumer mapping helps quickly identify likely impacted user groups and prioritize communications and workarounds.
Option A (environment attribute) helps differentiate production vs non-production and can support prioritization, but it does not identify impacted users. Option B is historical context, not a reliable mechanism to determine current impacted users. Option C is useful operationally for listing impacted configuration items, but it is ITSM task data, not specifically CSDM consumer modeling. CSDM's value here is linking the technical disruption to the business consumer view via service offerings and consumption segmentation.
NEW QUESTION # 66
A CMDB Administrator needs to set up CMDB 360/Multisource CMDB Drag and drop the system propertyto the functionality Some options may not apply.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation:
InServiceNow,CMDB 360 / Multisource CMDBextends the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) to supportmulti-source visibility, reconciliation, and confidence scoring. Configuration is controlled throughsystem properties, each enabling a specific capability.
glide.identification_engine.multisource_enabledis the master switch that activates CMDB 360 functionality.
glide.identification_engine.multisource_cmdb_ci_enabledallows CMDB 360 to collect and evaluate data specifically fromCMDB CI classes.
glide.cmdb.logger.source.cmdb_multisourceenables detailed logging for troubleshooting multisource ingestion and reconciliation.
glide.identification_engine.multisource_recompute.max_ci_limitprotects performance by limiting how many CIs can be processed during a recompute operation.
Capturing CMDB 360 data fromnon-CMDB classesisnot supported, which is why no property applies to that option.
This mapping aligns withData Foundations and CMDB governance best practices, ensuring CMDB 360 is enabled safely, transparently, and at scale.
NEW QUESTION # 67
A CMDB Administrator identifies duplicate CIs. One was created by a manual import, and the other was created by automated discovery. The discovered CI has the latest IP address, while the manually imported CI has an accurate relationship to a critical business application.
How does the Administrator use theDuplicate CI Remediatorto resolve this issue?
- A. Retain the manually imported CI and delete the discovered CI
- B. Retain the discovered CI and delete the manually imported CI
- C. Retain the discovered CI, but merge the relationship from the manually imported CI
- D. Merge the two CIs automatically, retaining all attributes from the discovered CI
Answer: C
Explanation:
InServiceNow, theDuplicate CI Remediatoris designed to resolve duplicate records while preserving themost authoritative datafrom each source. Data Foundations guidance clearly states thatautomated discovery is the system of record for technical attributes, such as IP address, hostname, and operational status, while manually maintained records often containvaluable business context, such as relationships to business applications or services.
In this scenario, the discovered CI contains the most accurate and up-to-datetechnical data, making it the correct CI to retain as the primary record. However, the manually imported CI has acritical relationship to a business application, which is essential for impact analysis, incident prioritization, and CSDM alignment.
Deleting this CI without preserving the relationship would result in loss of business context and reduced CMDB value.
The Duplicate CI Remediator supportsselective merging, allowing administrators to retain one CI while merging specific attributes or relationships from the duplicate. Option C reflects this best practice by retaining the discovered CI and merging the relationship from the manually imported CI, ensuring both technical accuracy and business relevance are preserved.
Options A and D would result in the loss of important relationship data, while Option B would discard the discovered CI, violating the principle that discovery should be the authoritative source for technical attributes.
Therefore,Option Cis the correct and Data Foundations-aligned answer.
NEW QUESTION # 68
The Apache Web Server Identification Rule is configured with the following criterion attributes:
Class
Configuration file
Version
Yesterday, an Apache Web Server CI was discovered as part of Service Mapping.
Today, the application owner upgraded Apache to a different version and reran discovery of the service.
What will happen in the CMDB?
- A. A new Apache Web Server CI is created.
- B. The Apache Web Server CI will be reclassified as a Web Server CI.
- C. A duplication error will occur.
- D. The existing Apache Web Server CI will be reconciled and its version will be updated.
Answer: A
Explanation:
This scenario hinges on how the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) in ServiceNow evaluates identification rules.
The identification rule for the Apache Web Server class includes Version as part of the identifier criteria, along with Class and Configuration file. Identification rules must match all criterion attributes exactly for an incoming record to be identified as an existing CI and reconciled.
Yesterday's discovery created an Apache Web Server CI with a specific version value. When Apache is upgraded and discovery is rerun, the Version attribute changes. Because Version is part of the identifier, the incoming record no longer matches the existing CI's identifier entry. As a result, the IRE cannot identify the existing CI as the same configuration item.
When identification fails and no matching identifier entry is found, the IRE proceeds to insert a new CI record rather than updating the existing one. This behavior is intentional and protects the CMDB from incorrectly reconciling records that no longer meet identification criteria.
Option A is incorrect because reconciliation only occurs after successful identification.
Option C is incorrect because reclassification is unrelated to identification criteria.
Option D is incorrect because this is not an error condition; it is expected IRE behavior.
This example highlights a best practice caution: volatile attributes (such as Version) should generally not be used as identifier attributes, as they can cause unintended CI duplication during upgrades.
NEW QUESTION # 69
A CMDB Administrator is asked to create a query using CMDB Query Builder that displays all operational CIs belonging to a specific Application Service.
Which steps provide the desired outcome?
- A. Add the Business Application, Application Service, and Configuration Item classes to the canvas.
Define a filter for the Application Service name and the operational status of the configuration items.
Configure the relationship between the classes.
Run the query. - B. Add the Application Service and Configuration Item classes to the canvas.
Configure the relationship between the classes.
Add the Operational Status and Name fields as columns.
Run the query. - C. Add the Application Service and Configuration Item classes to the canvas.
Configure the relationship between the classes.
Define a filter for the Application Service name and the operational status of the configuration items.
Run the query.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The query must contain the Application Service and Configuration Item nodes, the appropriate relationship between those nodes, and filters that restrict the results to the named Application Service and operational CIs.
Option A only adds Operational Status and Name as result columns. Displaying a field as a column does not filter records according to that field, so non-operational CIs could still appear.
Option C unnecessarily adds the Business Application class. The requirement is to find CIs belonging to a specific Application Service; no Business Application condition or relationship is required. Adding unnecessary classes can complicate the query and potentially alter its results.
CMDB Query Builder is designed to traverse relationships between CMDB classes. The guide similarly explains that Application Services and their related infrastructure should be represented through a CMDB query and connected through CMDB relationships.
Therefore, the correct sequence is Option B.

NEW QUESTION # 70
A CMDB Administrator notices that CIs do not have a support group.
How can the support group be automatically populated and maintained on the CI record?
- A. Dynamic CI Group
- B. Technology Management Service Offering
- C. CI Class Manager
- D. Technology Management Service
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer is Technology Management Service Offering, also called a Technical Service Offering. In CSDM-aligned configuration, Technical Service Offerings can be related to Dynamic CI Groups so that operational ownership values are synchronized to the member CIs. This includes the Support Group, which is used by ITSM processes for routing incidents, problems, and operational work. A Dynamic CI Group alone defines CI membership, but it does not provide the service-offering ownership context by itself. A Technology Management Service represents the broader technical service, while the offering is the consumable operational layer that carries support and management group information. CI Class Manager is used for class and schema configuration, not for automatically maintaining CI support groups. Therefore, the correct mechanism is the Technology Management Service Offering.

NEW QUESTION # 71
Which are CMDB Data Manager end-of-life policy types?
(Choose 2 options)
- A. Lost
- B. Disposed
- C. Archive
- D. Retire
- E. Decommission
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Archive and Retire are the correct CMDB Data Manager end-of-life policy types from the listed options. End-of-life governance in CMDB focuses on handling CI records that are no longer operationally active or no longer required in the active CMDB. A Retire policy is used when CIs should be moved out of active operational status while preserving lifecycle accuracy. An Archive policy is used when records should be removed from active operational use but retained for recovery, audit, or compliance purposes. Disposed and Lost are typically lifecycle status values used in asset or CI lifecycle tracking, not CMDB Data Manager policy types in this context. Decommission describes an operational lifecycle action or state transition, but it is not the Data Manager policy type being tested here.
Therefore, the valid end-of-life policy types are Archive and Retire.
NEW QUESTION # 72
A CMDB Data Owner has requested better insights into the different data sources that make up the CMDB data set. The Platform Owner knows that the new Service Graph Connector Central plugin is what is needed.
After installing the plugin, what workspace will have the new Service Graph Connector Central tab available?
- A. CMDB Workspace
- B. Service Graph Connector Workspace
- C. Discovery Admin Workspace
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer is CMDB Workspace. Service Graph Connector Central is designed to improve visibility into Service Graph Connector activity and source contribution within the CMDB operating experience. Since the objective is to understand data sources contributing to the CMDB, the functionality is surfaced in CMDB Workspace rather than a separate Service Graph Connector Workspace or Discovery Admin Workspace.
CMDB Workspace is the central workspace for managing CMDB data quality, source visibility, health, governance, and operational CMDB activities. Discovery Admin Workspace is focused on Discovery configuration and operations, not central CMDB source insight. Therefore, once the Service Graph Connector Central plugin is installed, the related tab is available in CMDB Workspace.

NEW QUESTION # 73
A Configuration Manager is reviewing the lifecycle of CIs to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and relevance. The manager reviews the legacy status values and their equivalent CSDM life cycle stage and life cycle stage status values.
Where are these reviewed?
- A. Life cycle properties
- B. Life cycle mappings
- C. Life cycle choice list
Answer: B
Explanation:
Life cycle mappings are used to review how legacy CMDB status values correspond to the newer CSDM life cycle stage and life cycle stage status model. This is a key governance activity during transition from older status fields to CSDM-aligned lifecycle management. The mapping layer allows administrators to understand and control how legacy operational values translate into standardized lifecycle stages and stage statuses. This prevents inconsistent reporting, incorrect CI retirement behavior, and confusion between old and new status models. A choice list only stores selectable values and does not provide the mapping relationship between legacy status and CSDM lifecycle fields. Life cycle properties may control behavior but do not serve as the review location for legacy-to-CSDM value alignment.
Therefore, when reviewing equivalent legacy status and CSDM lifecycle values, the correct location is Life cycle mappings.
NEW QUESTION # 74
An organization is updating the CMDB to include new asset types like loT devices Relevant CI classes need to be added and outdated ones need to be removed from the Principal Class filler to ensure accurate display in ITSM processes.
Which roles are needed to add or remove classes?
- A. cmdb_query_ builder
- B. personalize.dictionary
- C. sn_cmdb_admin
- D. sn_csdm_admin
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
ManagingCI classes and Principal Class designationis aschema-level CMDB activitythat directly impacts how CIs appear in ITSM processes such as Incident, Change, and Problem. InServiceNow, these activities require specific administrative privileges to ensure governance, security, and upgrade safety.
Thesn_cmdb_adminrole is required because it provides administrative access to CMDB structures, including CI class hierarchy management, Principal Class configuration, and overall CMDB governance. Without this role, users cannot add, remove, or govern CI classes effectively.
Thepersonalize_dictionaryrole is also required because adding or removing CI classes involvesdictionary- level changes. CI classes are implemented as tables that extend the CMDB schema, and modifying the Principal Class filter relies on dictionary metadata. This role grants permission to create, modify, or remove class definitions safely.
Thesn_csdm_adminrole focuses on managing CSDM constructs (domains, services, lifecycle alignment) but does not grant dictionary or schema modification rights. Thecmdb_query_builderrole is used only for querying and reporting and does not allow structural changes.
Therefore, the two required roles arepersonalize.dictionaryandsn_cmdb_admin, makingOptions A and Bcorrect.
NEW QUESTION # 75
A CI should not be updated by Discovery once it reaches "Retired" state. What should control this?
- A. Dictionary attribute
- B. Business Rule
- C. Identification Rule
- D. Reconciliation Rule with lifecycle condition
Answer: D
Explanation:
Reconciliation Rules can prevent updates based on lifecycle state, ensuring retired CIs remain unchanged.

(Choose 2 options)
A CMDB Administrator has built a number ofTechnology Management Service Offerings (Technical Service Offerings)based onDynamic CI Groupsto better maintain group alignment for the member CIs.
Which groups aresynced to CIs from the offeringthat has a relationship to a Dynamic CI Group?
- A. Support Group
- B. Managed by Group
- C. Approval Group
- D. Owned by Group
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
InServiceNow, Dynamic CI Groups are a coreData Foundationscapability used to automatically manage CI membership based on rules rather than manual maintenance. WhenTechnology Management Service Offerings (Technical Service Offerings)are related to Dynamic CI Groups, ServiceNow uses those relationships tosynchronize operational support attributesto the member CIs.
The two CI attributes that are intentionally designed to sync in this model are theManaged by Groupand theSupport Group. These groups directly influenceoperational ownership and support routing, which is why they are automatically aligned when Dynamic CI Groups are used. This ensures that incidents, changes, problems, and operational tasks are routed consistently as CI membership changes over time.
TheSupport Groupdefines who provides day-to-day operational support and is critical for Incident and Request Management workflows. TheManaged by Grouprepresents the team responsible for the technical lifecycle and operational health of the CI. Synchronizing these attributes eliminates manual updates and reduces misrouted tickets, which is a key goal of Configuration Management maturity.
TheApproval Group(Option A) is not synced because approvals are process-driven and often context-specific rather than CI-driven. Similarly, theOwned by Group(Option C) represents accountability or financial ownership, which is intentionally decoupled from dynamic operational grouping to avoid unintended governance changes.
Therefore, the correct answers areB (Managed by Group)andD (Support Group).
NEW QUESTION # 79
A CMDB Configuration Manager is reviewing the metrics on the CMDB Health Dashboard -- Correctness Scorecard for the Server class, which consists of 60,000 servers in the CMDB.
For the Duplicate metric, it shows Healthy CIs / Evaluated = 59,000 / 60,000 For the Orphan metric, it shows Healthy CIs / Evaluated = 45,000 / 50,000 Which configuration explains the difference in the scope of Server CIs evaluated (60,000 vs
50,000) between the two metrics?
- A. The Orphan metric has a Health Inclusion rule configured for the Server class
- B. The Duplicate metric has a Health Inclusion rule configured for the Server class
- C. The Orphan metric has a CMDB Group configured for the Server class
- D. The Duplicate metric has a CMDB Group configured for the Server class
Answer: A
Explanation:
In ServiceNow, each CMDB Health metric can independently define which CIs are in scope for evaluation. This scoping is controlled primarily through Health Inclusion Rules, not CMDB Groups.
In this scenario, the Duplicate metric evaluates all 60,000 Server CIs, indicating no inclusion rule is restricting its scope. In contrast, the Orphan metric evaluates only 50,000 Server CIs, which means 10,000 servers are intentionally excluded from that metric's evaluation.
This difference is explained by a Health Inclusion rule configured specifically for the Orphan metric on the Server class. Health Inclusion rules allow administrators to define conditions--such as lifecycle state, environment, discovery source, or operational status--that determine whether a CI should be included in a specific health calculation. For example, retired servers or servers in build states may be excluded from orphan checks.
CMDB Groups are not used by the CMDB Health Engine to determine metric scope; they are used for reporting, assignment, and operational grouping. Therefore, Options A and D are incorrect. Option C is also incorrect because the Duplicate metric clearly evaluates the full population of 60,000 servers.
