Correct Answer: B

 

Correct Answer

Answer B is correct because Drill-down health result shows the individual CIs behind a dashboard metric so administrators can investigate and remediate failures.

Incorrect Answers

Answer A is incorrect because that description applies to Class-level health score, which is used to measure data health for a specific part of the class hierarchy.

Answer C is incorrect because that description applies to CMDB Health Dashboard, which is used to monitor CMDB data quality and drill into failing records.

Answer D is incorrect because that description applies to Service health aggregation, which is used to connect data-quality issues to service impact.
