Unless you've been under a rock for a while, you've probably noticed that cloud technology moves FAST. Well, being born in the cloud, so do we at ServiceNow, and so can YOU as a Discovery/Mapping customer! If you haven't seen it already, I recommend ...
It seems like a lifetime ago that we discussed Real-time CMDB: Disco as a Service. Let's revisit this topic, this time with a focus on Service Mapping rather than simple CI discovery.As you may already know, Service Mapping is a unique method to auto...
Event Management has been a capability in ServiceNow for quite a few releases now. It's straightforward in its approach, and allows massive volume reduction from event > alert > task (e.g. Incident). Seriously, I'm talking order-of-magnitude compress...
The identification and Reconciliation API is a relatively new capability in the ServiceNow platform that often goes (tragically) unnoticed, and under appreciated. This must end. It's one of the most important capabilities to be aware of if you're dri...
Very often, my esteemed colleague aleck.lin and I are asked how to make the CMDB closer to being a real-time repository. As service architectures evolve and become more dynamic, running a broad subnet discovery once a day might not be anywhere near o...
Hi Kasper, I recommend reading the documentation on Model categories to understand the link between CIs and their asset details. If you need clarity on mapping properties between assets and CIs, I recommend having a look at the Asset and CI managemen...
Hi Kalpa, I can't say for sure with the example you gave. I replicated your identifier, ran the same script in my instance, and it behaved as expected (the first run, a new record was created; the second run, the record was updated). The output you'v...
Hey Venkat - it sounds like you're going through the process of creating a custom external credential store integration. If your intent is just to leverage CyberArk, please see the documentation specific to CyberArk credential storage integration.
Thanks for the question, Amaradi. This would be a little less direct (since the discovery process is asynchronous with the request being made). One possible solution: extend the example above to accept a callback URL. This would also require extendin...
Absolutely possible (and encouraged) - my bad for not making a clearer point of it in the above post.If you're using the API from script, as in the first example, you just need to change an argument:SNC.IdentificationEngineScriptableApi.createOrUpdat...
