Correct answers: A, C, D

Explanation

Some of the benefits of using 'Multisource CMDB' are:

  1. Control CI updates at the discovery source and CI attribute level.

  2. Visualise discovery sources of attribute values at the attribute level.

  3. Modify reconciliation rules and then recompute CMDB data, reflecting the updated reconciliation rules.

  4. Revert CMDB data integration from a specific discovery source if, for example, you realize that the discovery source is not reliable. Recompute CI attribute values while excluding the discovery source you want to ignore.

  5. Validate a discovery source by comparing its data to data from other discovery sources which are known to be valid.

  6. Improve data management, data quality, and operational insights by querying Multisource CMDB data. Use the Multisource Report Builder to create queries for Multisource CMDB records, discovery sources, and CI records.
