ServiceNow CIS-Service Mapping free question 6 / 10 · Domain 3: Discovery Configuration
Which component processes the data that a multi-probe returns?
- The classification sensor
- A multi-sensor
- The MID Server worker job
- A single simple sensor
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B
Why this is correct
A multi-probe is a probe that contains probes. A multi-sensor processes the data from a multi-probe. It contains individual scripts to process the data returned by each probe in the multiprobe, as well as a main multi-sensor script.
Why the other options are wrong
"A single simple sensor" … One simple sensor handles one probe. The data of a multi-probe needs a sensor with a script for each contained probe.
"The MID Server worker job" … The worker job looks for work in the ECC queue. Processing the returned data is done by sensors on the instance.
"The classification sensor" … A classification sensor belongs to one stage of discovery. The data of a multi-probe goes to its own kind of sensor.
Key point
The individual scripts pass their processed data to the main multi-sensor script. Multiprobes extract information by executing multiple queries with a single authentication.
