Exam CIS-DF Topic 2 Question 13 Discussion

Actual exam question for ServiceNow's CIS-DF exam
Question #: 13
Topic #: 2
A CMDB Administrator must ensure that all servers have the latest patches installed. The Administrator is configuring Certification Templates for the Server [cmdb_ci_server] class to provide an additional check for the CMDB Health Dashboard Compliance scorecard.
Which audit type is included in the calculation of the scorecard KPI?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

The Desired State audit type is included in the CMDB Health Compliance calculation. A desired-state audit compares the actual values stored on a CI against the values or conditions that the organization expects the CI to meet.
In this scenario, the organization's desired state is that every server must have the current approved patch level. A Certification Template can define the server population and attributes to be evaluated. The resulting audit identifies servers that do not satisfy the expected patch condition, and those results contribute to the Compliance KPI.
"Compliance" is the name of the overall CMDB Health scorecard, not the audit type selected for this check.
"Architecture Compliance" is not the applicable audit type for validating server patch-level attributes.
The Compliance scorecard uses audit results to determine whether CIs conform to defined organizational standards. Therefore, the correct audit type is Desired State .
