ServiceNow CIS-Service Mapping free question 2 / 10 · Domain 1: Service Mapping Pattern Design
Discovery runs horizontal discovery with patterns. In which two phases are the patterns used? (Choose two.)
- Exploration
- Scanning
- Identification
- Classification
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A, C
Why this is correct
A pattern performs the same function as a probe: it identifies and explores a target CI. Discovery uses patterns only during the last two phases of discovery: Identification and Exploration.
Why the other options are wrong
"Scanning" … Scanning runs as it would without patterns, using the probes that find open ports on the target.
"Classification" … Classification also runs as it would without patterns. Only after it completes does Discovery look at what the classifier triggers next.
Key point
Patterns unify the last two phases, so one pattern carries the operations for both. The first two phases stay with probes and sensors.
