ServiceNow CIS-VR free question 9 / 10 · Domain 4: Automating Vulnerability Response
What is the watchdog in Vulnerability Response used for?
- Recommending an assignment group for each item
- Tracking tables based on conditions you specify
- Closing detections that scanners stop reporting
- Keeping detections from creating vulnerable items
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B
Why this is correct
The watchdog is used to track tables based on the conditions you specify. For example, it can be used to log details of integration run failures in Vulnerability Response. You can choose to be notified about these failures, and based on the notification, you can plan the remediation.
Why the other options are wrong
"Keeping detections from creating vulnerable items" … The watchdog page does not describe the watchdog acting on detections at all; it watches tables and reports what it finds.
"Closing detections that scanners stop reporting" … The watchdog page does not describe the watchdog closing any record. It tracks tables and can log details of run failures.
"Recommending an assignment group for each item" … Recommending assignment groups is not the use that the Watchdog section gives.
Key point
The worst case for an import is a failure that nobody notices. A watchdog turns a failed or delayed integration run into a notification, so that the gap does not grow day after day before anyone looks.
