[All CIS-PA Questions]

How many SQL queries are executed during a 30-day historical collection if all 10 indicators in the historical collection share the same daily indicator source?

A300

B60

C30

D1

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Platform Analytics optimizes historical data collection by executing one query per indicator source per day, regardless of how many indicators reference that source. If 10 indicators share the same daily indicator source, the system executes only one SQL query per day, not one per indicator.

Over a 30-day historical collection period, this results in 30 SQL queries total. This optimization significantly reduces database load and improves performance. ServiceNow documentation explicitly highlights this behavior as a best-practice advantage of reusing indicator sources. Therefore, option C is the correct and documented answer.

No way, it’s definitely A) 300. Daily means every indicator.

I’m leaning towards B) 60. One query per indicator per day?

I feel like it’s still A) 300. Each day counts.

But what if they share the same source? Maybe it's less?

I agree, A) 300 makes sense. Daily queries add up.

I think it's A) 300. 10 indicators times 30 days.

It's definitely 300 queries. 10 indicators x 30 days.

I’m leaning towards 300 since it seems logical to run a query for each indicator every day, but I could be overthinking it.

I’m confused about whether the daily source affects the total count. I thought it might just be 30 if it’s one query per day.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like there was a similar question in our practice that involved daily queries. Could it be 60?

I think I remember something about multiplying the number of days by the number of indicators, so that might be 30 times 10?
