CIS-Discovery Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Discovery

During the Discovery process, the Model Category of the Configuration Item (CI) determines if an Asset record is created. A Model Category is a grouping of models that share the same asset tracking strategy and the same CI and Asset tables. The asset tracking strategy defines whether Discovery creates an Asset record for each CI of that Model Category. There are three possible asset tracking strategies: Create Assets, Don’t create Assets, and Create Consumable Assets12.

 The functionality shown in the image is related to the Tracked Configuration files feature of ServiceNow Discovery. This feature allows Discovery to track changes in configuration files on Windows and Unix hosts and store them as configuration items (CIs) in the CMDB1. To modify this functionality, such as adding or removing files to track, changing the file attributes to capture, or defining the CI relationships, one needs to edit the Discovery Pattern that is associated with the Tracked Configuration files classifier2. A Discovery Patternis a series of operations that tell Discovery how to find and identify an application or a configuration file on a host3.

The CMDB contains records of configuration items (CIs) and their relationships. A CI is any component that needs to be managed in order to deliver an IT service, such as a server, an application, or a user. A relation type defines the nature of the connection between two CIs, such as depends on, uses, or contains. A model is a template for a CI that defines its attributes and default values. An asset is a tangible or intangible resource that is tracked and managed by the organization, such as a laptop, a license, or a contract.
