Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

A Discovery schedule of type Configuration Item collects complete information from the scanned IP ranges and sends it to the CMDB. This type of schedule runs a series of probes and sensors to identify and classify the devices and applications on the network, and to create or update the corresponding configuration items in the CMDB. A Discovery schedule of type Configuration Item can also run patterns to discover more details and relationships about the configuration items.

B just lists IPs, not what we need for CI.

Wait, does D really populate the assets table? That sounds off.

D seems off to me; I don't recall the Discovery schedule directly populating asset records like that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like B is too limited since it only mentions IPs without any context about the CMDB.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think C was about collecting complete info, which sounds relevant here.

I think the Discovery schedule for Configuration Items is about verifying data, so maybe A is the right choice?

I've got a good feeling about this one. I'll use the process of elimination to narrow down the choices and select the best answer.

Option A sounds like it's just doing a basic verification. I want the full package, so I'm going with C. Gotta catch 'em all, am I right?

D, of course! Directly populating the assets table is the way to go. Who needs all that CMDB nonsense? Let's just get it done!

Option C definitely seems the most comprehensive. It collects all the details from the scanned IPs and sends them to the CMDB. That's exactly what a Discovery schedule should do.
