[All CIS-Discovery Questions]

Which choice will populate the Location field for a discovered CI?

ALocation field for a Discovery Schedule

BLocation field for a parent CI Type

CLocation field for a Port Probe

DLocation report from the Discovery Dashboard

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The Location field for a discovered CI is populated by the Location field of the Discovery Schedule that triggered the discovery of that CI. This is done by the DiscoverySensor script, which gets the location ID from the Discovery Schedule and passes it to the Shazzam probe, which then updates the cidata with the location information. The Location field for a parent CI Type, a Port Probe, or a Discovery Dashboard report does not affect the Location field for a discovered CI.

The Discovery Dashboard sounds familiar for reporting, but I can't remember if it directly affects the Location field.

I'm leaning towards option B, since the parent CI Type would likely contain location information that gets passed down to the discovered CIs.

Based on my understanding, the Location field is populated from the information gathered during the discovery process, so I think option D is the correct answer.
