Which one of the following statements about incident reporting and logging is CORRECT?

Limiting incident reporting to users contradicts ITIL guidance, which includes technical staff and automated event management tools as valid sources of incident reports.

ITIL Incident Management explicitly states that incidents can be reported by users, technical staff, or automated monitoring tools that detect a disruption or potential disruption to normal service. This broad scope ensures that all service interruptions are captured regardless of who or what identifies them, supporting proactive as well as reactive incident management.

Not all service desk contacts are incidents - calls can also be service requests, change requests, or general inquiries, and logging them all as incidents would misclassify records.

Incidents reported by technical staff should be logged as incidents; they are only also logged as problems if a separate problem investigation is warranted to find the root cause.
