Device sync has quite a mandatory configuration option about relations between SL1 devices vs Snow CIs. We have used that a lot but now struggling with some issue we noticed this "values" section. In documentation we can see this picture: which shows that there is part "values" and it is told that they are Additional Child Class Values. Then in example we have this { "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance": { "relations": [ { "parent": "cmdb_ci_win_server", "rel_type": "Runs on::Runs", "reverse": true } ], "values": {"sys_class_name": "snow_ci_class", "instance_name": "name"} }, "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_database": { "relations": [ { "parent": "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance", "rel_type": "Contains::Contained by", "reverse": false } ], "values": {"sys_class_name": "snow_ci_class", "database": "name"} }, "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_server": { "relations": [ { "parent": "cmdb_ci_win_server", "rel_type": "Runs on::Runs", "reverse": true } ], "values": {"sys_class_name": "snow_ci_class", "instance_name": "name"} } } Not much told about those in documentation, so few questions arise: when do we need to use those? Seems to be optional anyway. what are the field names to be used here. In the example snow_ci_class seems to be coming from device attributes/field from SL1, then probably the key part is the snow field? Is that correct?ServiceNow CMDB SyncPack v3.6.3 Release
Hello, We are pleased to announce the release of the ServiceNow CMDB SyncPack v3.6.3. This SyncPack addresses the following issues: Addressed an issue which prevented the interface sync GraphQL query from working if the SL1 AP2 version was 8.18.43-81 (JellyBean) or later. Addressed an issue that caused the device sync to fail due to the "EM71" region being overwritten. To address the issue, the "/api/v1/cache/dev-classes" API endpoint was updated to make the "default_dev_ class_id" and "servicenow_default_id" options configurable. You can download this and other SyncPacks from the Product Downloads > PowerPacks & SyncPacks tab on the Support portal. Please review the release notes for this SyncPack carefully before installing it. Thank you, Release ManagementServiceNow Service Graph Connector SyncPack v1.1.1 Release
Hello, We're pleased to announce the release of ServiceNow Service Graph Connector SyncPack v1.1.1. Issues Addressed The following issues are addressed in this release: Addressed an issue which prevented the interface sync GraphQL query from working if the SL1 AP2 version was JellyBean or later. Addressed an issue where devices merged in the Service Graph Connector with topology relationships caused an error. As part of the fix for this issue, a new enable_advanced_topology toggle was added to the device and interface syncs. The toggle is disabled by default. Additional System Requirements: "Base Steps" SyncPack version 1.5.5 or later. "ServiceNow Base" SyncPack version 3.8.0 or later. ServiceNow version Tokyo or later with Web Services enabled. ServiceNow CMDBCI Class Models version 1.49.0 or later. You can download the class models from the ServiceNow Store. "Service Graph Connector for ScienceLogic" application version 1.0.2. You can download the application from the ServiceNow Store. NOTE: The Service Graph Connector will not work with Incidents synced to ServiceNow. As a result, the Configuration Item field and the related list on the [Affected CIs] tab will not be populated when using the Service Graph Connector. The Device field on the Event record will also be blank. This issue is addressed in version 4.0.0 of the ServiceNow Incident SyncPack. You can find this SyncPack via the Product Downloads > PowerPacks & SyncPacks tab on the Support portal. Thank you, Release ManagementDevice configuration "key/value" pairs synchronization to ITSM
With Powerflow most data are pretty easy to sync from SL1 to ITSM/CMDB, in this case ServiceNow. But now we have requirement that we should sync cloud device tags from SL1 to SN. The data from Azure virtual server, using Azure PP, is shown on SL1 like below, multiple key/value rows per device. So those are not easily stored into Attributes. And if I have understood correctly, quite a lot of tags used in cloud. Any ideas how these could be synced with PF into ServiceNow?ScienceLogic - ServiceNow Integrations: ITOM Licensing Requirements
ScienceLogic maximizes customers' investments in ServiceNow through its powerful suite of pre-built integrations, referred to as SyncPacks. ScienceLogic offers certified ServiceNow scoped applications for streamlined platform integration, accessible via the ServiceNow Store, ensuring seamless compatibility. Understanding the licensing requirements for ServiceNow integrations is crucial for informed decision-making. This document seeks to clarify the IT Operations Management (ITOM) licensing requirements for ScienceLogic integrations with ServiceNow. Its purpose is to eliminate any confusion regarding which integrations necessitate ITOM licensing. Note: ServiceNow’s ITOM licensing is further organized into different tiers. This document is not intended to help identify the suitable tier for your requirements. For any questions related to this, please contact ServiceNow.

To effectively leverage these features in accordance with ServiceNow best practices, you might require ITOM licensing. Customers can contact their ScienceLogic representatives for cloud mapping questions. ** ITOM licenses are necessary only if you are implementing a CMDB using ITOM FAQs Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) from our customers Q: Are there other scenarios where one would need IT Operations Management (ITOM) licenses for CMDB? A: The necessity for ITOM licenses is primarily influenced by the specific goals of your organization. Customers of ScienceLogic are not required to adopt ITOM unless their integration module is inherently ITOM-based. We observe that customers generally opt for ITOM in the following situations: To deploy out-of-the-box ServiceNow automation for ensuring data quality and reliability. When transitioning to a more advanced, ServiceNow-defined CSDM (Common Service Data Model) framework. Q: Do Business Services in ScienceLogic need IT Operations Management (ITOM) licenses to be integrated into ServiceNow? A: No, it does not. ScienceLogic integrations leverage out-of-the-box ServiceNow CMDB tables, eliminating the need for ITOM licenses. You can effectively replicate ScienceLogic Business Service Models in ServiceNow by leveraging our integrations. Customer Testimonials Discover what our customers are saying about our integrations. “ We like that ScienceLogic has a tight integration with ServiceNow and particularly the fact that we don't need to deploy the additional discovery modules from an integration perspective. ” “ We are able to have a single pane of glass using ServiceNow. All monitoring events and CMDB population is managed by ServiceNow. ScienceLogic is a great monitoring system that integrates well with ServiceNow using its integration server, which provides workflow and rules that work with our systems. ”
PowerFlow output to Syslog repository
We're looking at enabling Syslog output to a central repository from PowerFlow at an application level. We've already got this running fine at an OS level and SL1 at an application level. Has anybody setup logging for PowerFlow? We're specifically interested in any login type data and also code changes. I've been through as much doc as I can find on the topic, such as: https://docs.sciencelogic.com/pdf/sciencelogic_powerflow_2-1-1.pdf https://docs.docker.com/engine/logging/drivers/syslog/ https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/article/10819 It doesn't appear straight forward to link log files in /var/log/iservices to their respective Docker services. I'm just looking for validation as much as anything, that Docker level logging of the contentapi and gui processes would be the way forward to capture all relevant security related information, and that all other processes can be ignored.
