Exam CIS-EM topic 1 question 63 discussion

Your node count is based on the amount of infrastructure (servers for example) that will be sending events.

Answer is D The Event Management - Node Count Store job calculates the number of unique nodes that send event information, either directly or through third-parties, to Event Management and are eligible for licensing in the last year. The information from this job is stored in the License Usage [em_unique_nodes] table for visibility by all users. CIs bound to alerts are counted towards licensing; if there are no CIs that are bound to alerts, the event node field is used. Node is a reference to a server, not the instances of the software on it. Your node count is based on the amount of infrastructure (servers for example) that will be sending events. https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/xanadu-it-operations-management/page/product/event-management/task/license-usage.html

D is wrong. The unique number of nodes counts into the license of event management.

D is wrong. Only the CIs bound to alerts in the last year are calculated for licensing. It does NOT count the # of CIs being monitored in the CMDB. "The Event Management - Node Count job calculates the number of unique nodes that send event information, either directly or through third-parties, to Event Management and are eligible for licensing in the last year"

D is correct https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-it-operations-management/page/product/event-management/task/license-usage.html
