Exam CIS-DF Topic 1 Question 35 Discussion

Actual exam question for ServiceNow's CIS-DF exam
Question #: 35
Topic #: 1
During an automated Discovery scan, both a Web Server instance and its underlying Server are detected and ingested into the CMDB.
What is the default relationship established between the Web Server CI and the Server CI?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

A Web Server is an application or software CI hosted on an underlying physical or virtual Server CI. The standard ServiceNow relationship is therefore Runs on::Runs .
From the Web Server's direction, the relationship reads Web Server runs on Server . From the reverse direction, the Server runs Web Server . This bidirectional relationship allows users and platform processes to traverse the relationship correctly during incident investigation, service impact analysis, change planning, and service mapping.
"Uses::Used by" represents a broader dependency or consumption relationship and does not accurately express direct software hosting. "Runs::Runs on" reverses the standard relationship direction presented in the question.
Discovery can identify the running software and its host and create the relationship automatically as part of the ingestion process. Therefore, the correct relationship is Web Server > Runs on::Runs > Server.
