Question 330
During handoff for principal class health focus, An enterprise has hundreds of obscure CMDB classes and wants operational governance focused on the subset underpinning essential services. What preventive control should be retained?
- Monitor group population rates before enabling high-volume governance policies.
- Include CMDB stewardship and measurable quality outcomes in business-as-usual operations.
- Revalidate principal-class membership whenever key applications and infrastructure models change.
- Require lifecycle-state, owner and critical-service exclusion reviews before scaling archival operations.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Long-term integrity for principal class health focus depends on Revalidate principal-class membership whenever key applications and infrastructure models change.
Incorrect Answers
A:Monitor group population rates before enabling high-volume governance policies. It would leave revalidate principal-class membership whenever key applications and infrastructure models change without the specified safeguard.
B:Include CMDB stewardship and measurable quality outcomes in business-as-usual operations. It would leave revalidate principal-class membership whenever key applications and infrastructure models change without the specified safeguard.
D:Require lifecycle-state, owner and critical-service exclusion reviews before scaling archival operations. It would leave revalidate principal-class membership whenever key applications and infrastructure models change without the specified safeguard.
Question 331
The CMDB Health dashboard flags stale database CIs, and the remediation team closes incidents without refreshing data or recording ownership. An architect must choose the implementation rather than a reporting workaround. Which option fits?
- Require evidence of a successful source refresh or justified lifecycle decision before closing the quality remediation task.
- Populate the Managed by Group information used by the task routing and verify the policy's assignment configuration.
- Define approved principal classes and target health and ownership reviews for those classes without hiding critical dependencies.
- Establish accountable class/data owners, authoritative sources, health metrics and recurring lifecycle-remediation processes.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Require evidence of a successful source refresh or justified lifecycle decision before closing the quality remediation task.
Incorrect Answers
B:Populate the Managed by Group information used by the task routing and verify the policy's assignment configuration. That does not require evidence of a successful source refresh or justified lifecycle decision before closing the quality remediation task.
C:Define approved principal classes and target health and ownership reviews for those classes without hiding critical dependencies. The missing change involves requiring evidence of a successful source refresh or justified lifecycle decision before closing the quality remediation task.
D:Reconciliation rules restrict which data sources may update each attribute of an identified CI. That does not require evidence of a successful source refresh or justified lifecycle decision before closing the quality remediation task.
Question 332
For ci remediation evidence, the solution has been deployed. The CMDB Health dashboard flags stale database CIs, and the remediation team closes incidents without refreshing data or recording ownership. Which verification best proves it works?
- Compare raw duplicate counts and the threshold policy over time, not just the color of the scorecard.
- Observe scheduled metric reviews, steward task completion and source-freshness evidence over several cycles.
- Run a limited task generation and confirm requests reach the expected responsible device groups.
- Inspect one remediated CI and its last-discovery/source timestamp along with the closure note.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Inspect one remediated CI and its last-discovery/source timestamp along with the closure note.
Incorrect Answers
A:CI deduplication depends on stable identifiers and relationships, not just visually matching names. Verification of this result involves inspecting one remediated CI and its last-discovery/source timestamp along with the closure note.
B:Observe scheduled metric reviews, steward task completion and source-freshness evidence over several cycles. It does not inspect one remediated CI and its last-discovery/source timestamp along with the closure note.
C:Run a limited task generation and confirm requests reach the expected responsible device groups. It does not inspect one remediated CI and its last-discovery/source timestamp along with the closure note.
Question 333
The CMDB Health dashboard flags stale database CIs, and the remediation team closes incidents without refreshing data or recording ownership. The pilot then reports this problem: The same stale CIs reappear immediately after their tasks were administratively closed. Which explanation best identifies the failed mechanism?
- Closing a task without changing source data or lifecycle state did not remove the underlying staleness cause.
- A reporting threshold was changed, but the duplicate CI population stayed the same.
- The implementation lacked an operating governance model for ongoing ingestion, health and lifecycle decisions.
- The task policy cannot derive the intended group from missing CI ownership fields.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Closing a task without changing source data or lifecycle state did not remove the underlying staleness cause. The missing change involves closing a task without changing source data or lifecycle state did not remove the underlying staleness cause.
Incorrect Answers
B:CI deduplication depends on stable identifiers and relationships, not just visually matching names. The missing change involves closing a task without changing source data or lifecycle state did not remove the underlying staleness cause.
C:The implementation lacked an operating governance model for ongoing ingestion, health and lifecycle decisions. That does not establish closing a task without changing source data or lifecycle state did not remove the underlying staleness cause.
D:The task policy cannot derive the intended group from missing CI ownership fields. The missing change involves closing a task without changing source data or lifecycle state did not remove the underlying staleness cause.
Question 334
The initial implementation for ci remediation evidence works. The CMDB Health dashboard flags stale database CIs, and the remediation team closes incidents without refreshing data or recording ownership. Which governance measure should sustain it?
- Use outcome-based remediation acceptance instead of closure-count targets.

- Monitor group population rates before enabling high-volume governance policies.
- Require lifecycle-state, owner and critical-service exclusion reviews before scaling archival operations.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Use outcome-based remediation acceptance instead of closure-count targets.
Incorrect Answers
B:Revalidate principal-class membership whenever key applications and infrastructure models change. That does not use outcome-based remediation acceptance instead of closure-count targets.
C:Monitor group population rates before enabling high-volume governance policies. That does not use outcome-based remediation acceptance instead of closure-count targets.
D:Require lifecycle-state, owner and critical-service exclusion reviews before scaling archival operations. That does not use outcome-based remediation acceptance instead of closure-count targets.
Question 335
An executive changes the duplicate-score threshold to make a dashboard green without changing the duplicate records. Which proposed implementation best meets that requirement?
- Preview its included/excluded records and test a narrow sample before publishing wide-scope processing.
- Require evidence of a successful source refresh or justified lifecycle decision before closing the quality remediation task.
- Populate the Managed by Group information used by the task routing and verify the policy's assignment configuration.
- Keep thresholds tied to approved risk tolerance and resolve the real duplicate sets before claiming improvement.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Keep thresholds tied to approved risk tolerance and resolve the real duplicate sets before claiming improvement.
Incorrect Answers
A:Preview its included/excluded records and test a narrow sample before publishing wide-scope processing. That does not establish correct matching and consolidation of CI identities.
B:Require evidence of a successful source refresh or justified lifecycle decision before closing the quality remediation task. That does not establish correct matching and consolidation of CI identities.
C:Populate the Managed by Group information used by the task routing and verify the policy's assignment configuration. That does not establish correct matching and consolidation of CI identities.
Question 336
The implementation team has completed the change for governance of quality thresholds. An executive changes the duplicate-score threshold to make a dashboard green without changing the duplicate records. Which acceptance check should it perform?
- Confirm the eligible CI list, explicit exclusions, owner approvals and retirement definitions match the intended scope.
- Observe scheduled metric reviews, steward task completion and source-freshness evidence over several cycles.
- Compare raw duplicate counts and the threshold policy over time, not just the color of the scorecard.
- Inspect one remediated CI and its last-discovery/source timestamp along with the closure note.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Compare raw duplicate counts and the threshold policy over time, not just the color of the scorecard.
Incorrect Answers
A:Retiring a CI does not authorize destructive deletion; owner approval safeguards its audit history and related records. The missing change involves comparing raw duplicate counts and the threshold policy over time, not just the color of the scorecard.
B:Observe scheduled metric reviews, steward task completion and source-freshness evidence over several cycles. That does not establish correct matching and consolidation of CI identities.
D:Inspect one remediated CI and its last-discovery/source timestamp along with the closure note. That does not establish correct matching and consolidation of CI identities.
Question 337
An executive changes the duplicate-score threshold to make a dashboard green without changing the duplicate records. A troubleshooter observes: The aggregate status improves solely because a failure threshold was raised. Which diagnosis fits the evidence?
- The policy filters or retirement rules were not validated against the actual eligible population.
- The implementation lacked an operating governance model for ongoing ingestion, health and lifecycle decisions.
- The task policy cannot derive the intended group from missing CI ownership fields.
- A reporting threshold was changed, but the duplicate CI population stayed the same.
Explanation
Correct Answer
