Question

(A question about specific values and the discovery source field would need to be provided for options)
A) Numeric values
B) Alphanumeric values
C) Boolean values
D) Date values

Answer 1

Service mapping tools identify applications and define the discovery source with alphanumeric values, which allow for descriptive and identifiable source names.

Step-by-step explanation:

Applications discovered by service mapping typically have alphanumeric values defined for the discovery source field. Service mapping tools are designed to automatically discover services on a network and create a map of the relationships and dependencies between application components. The discovery source field is used to indicate the method or process that identified the application, and since it is a descriptor of a process or tool, having alphanumeric characters allows for a more descriptive and identifiable source name than purely numeric or boolean values. It should be noted that a specific ITSM platform, like ServiceNow, would have its own set of definitions for the discovery source field within its service mapping process.
