A Dynamic CI group is the appropriate ServiceNow feature for this requirement. It allows for the creation of a collection of Configuration Items (CIs) based on a set of filter conditions defined in an encoded query. In this scenario, the criteria would be Class is Web Server AND Location is Miami. The group's membership is automatically updated whenever CIs are created or modified to match or no longer match these criteria, ensuring the group remains accurate without manual maintenance. This functionality is essential for managing and reporting on specific subsets of CIs within the CMDB.

A. CI class: A CI class is a type or category of a configuration item (e.g., Web Server), not a specific, filter-based grouping of instances with shared attributes like location.

B. Dependent group: This is not a standard ServiceNow term for this function. CI relationships are defined through dependency maps, not a feature called a "dependent group."

C. CSDM component group: This is not a recognized term within the Common Service Data Model (CSDM) or ServiceNow. CSDM uses Application Services to group CIs that constitute a service.

1. ServiceNow Product Documentation (Utah): Dynamic CI groups. "A dynamic CI group is a CI group that is populated with CIs by a CMDB group query... The query runs against a target CMDB class and its child classes

and the CIs that the query returns become members of the CI group." This directly describes the functionality needed to group all web servers in Miami.

2. ServiceNow Product Documentation (Utah): Create a dynamic CI group. The procedure outlines the steps: "Navigate to Configuration > CI Groups. Click New. On the form

fill in the fields. In the Type field

select Dynamic CI Group. In the CI filter field

create the filter to use for the query that populates the group." This confirms the mechanism for creating such a group.
