ServiceNow CIS-EM free question 10 / 10 · Domain 6: Metric Intelligence
According to the Metric binding page, what is true of the metric data that is collected on the MID Server?
- It is normalized and already bound to CIs in the CMDB
- It is raw but already bound to the CIs it came from
- It is raw and does not relate to any CI or resource in the CMDB
- It is normalized but not yet bound to any CI in the CMDB
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C
Why this is correct
The Metric binding page says the data that is collected on the MID Server is raw and does not relate to any specific CI or resource in the CMDB. To be useful, the data goes through a normalization process. So the data starts out both raw and unbound, and the normalization process is what makes it useful.
Why the other options are wrong
"It is normalized and already bound to CIs in the CMDB" … The page says the collected data is raw, so it is not normalized yet, and it does not relate to any CI.
"It is raw but already bound to the CIs it came from" … The data is raw, but the page says it does not relate to any specific CI or resource, so it is not bound.
"It is normalized but not yet bound to any CI in the CMDB" … The page says the data still has to go through normalization, so it is not normalized when it is collected.
Key point
The page opens with the order of events: after metric data is collected, Metric Intelligence identifies the CIs and the resources to bind the data to.
