Sometimes when syncing devices from SL1 into ServiceNow as a Configuration Items there can be a mismatch. ServiceNow may list the name as Fully Qualified Domain Name and SL1 will use short name. This setting can be updated in SL1, but in some cases the SL1 team would rather see short name than FQDN. This can be setup on a per SL1 Device Class basis. PowerFlow Using the following Jinja2 “if statement” the device name in SL1 can be converted to use “Device Hostname,” in SL1 instead for Microsoft SQL Server Databases. This excerpt of code would go under attribute mappings for name on the ScienceLogic side mapping to name on the ServiceNow side: {%- set output = [] -%} {%- if (device.device_class|trim) in ['Microsoft | SQL Server Database'] } {%- set output = device.hostname -%} {%- else -%} {%- set output = device.name -%} {%- endif -%} {{ output }} Example:ScienceLogic - ServiceNow Integrations: ITOM Licensing Requirements

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.

Hello all – We are pleased to announce that ScienceLogic's latest integrations with ServiceNow are certified with ServiceNow Xanadu! This is an important milestone, taking place immediately after ServiceNow Xanadu was released. This is exciting news, because Each new ServiceNow release includes valuable features and enhancements that can significantly improve efficiency and functionality. Staying certified ensures our partners can leverage these innovations for their clients. As ServiceNow partners, being certified for the latest release is also crucial, because ServiceNow only maintains the last two releases (n-2). Older releases (more than two versions back) may no longer receive support or updates, making it challenging to troubleshoot issues or implement new features for clients still using outdated versions. As our customers update to the latest with ServiceNow's new releases, we ensure our scoped apps are certified every release to not only be in lock-step but also to leverage new capabilities. With Xanadu, ServiceNow has delivered their “Biggest AI Release Yet!” To learn more, see https://www.servicenow.com/community/releases-and-upgrades/ct-p/releases-and-upgrades.
