A

constant, unchanging value?
A
Which service needs to be running on a host to detect a Windows device?
B
Which of the following MID Server Parameters cannot be modified through the platform UI?
D
Explanation:
The MID Server parameters like 'mid.ssh.session_timeout', 'url', and
'mid.windows.management_protocol' can be modified through the ServiceNow platform UI under
the MID Server configuration settings. These parameters control various aspects of the MID Server's
operation, such as timeout settings for SSH sessions, the URL for the MID Server to communicate
with the ServiceNow instance, and the management protocol to use for Windows servers,
respectively. The 'name' of the MID Server, however, is not typically a parameter that can be changed
through the UI as it is a unique identifier for the MID Server within the ServiceNow instance. Once a
MID Server is registered with a name, that name is usually persistent and not intended to be
modified through configuration settings.
Which choice best describes a horizontal discovery pattern?
B
Explanation:
In ServiceNow Discovery, a horizontal discovery pattern refers to the logical set of steps that the
Discovery process executes to find CI information across the network. Each step in a horizontal
discovery pattern performs specific operations such as running probes, executing commands, or
querying databases to gather information about the configuration items (CIs). It's about expanding
the breadth of discovery across devices and applications, rather than going in-depth into a specific
CI's details, which would be vertical discovery. Classifiers, credential depots, and port scanning tools
are part of the discovery process but do not describe the horizontal discovery pattern itself.
Which service needs to be running on a host to detect a Windows device?
A
Explanation:
For ServiceNow Discovery to detect a Windows device, the Windows Management Instrumentation
(WMI) service needs to be running on the host. WMI is a Windows feature that provides a
standardized way to access management information about operating system components and
services. Discovery uses WMI to query Windows hosts for information about their hardware,
software, and system configuration. SSH is used for Unix-like systems, WinRM is an alternative
Windows management protocol, and CIM (Common Information Model) is a cross-platform
standard; however, WMI is the primary service used for Windows device discovery.
