Integrate ServiceNow with Strata Cloud Manager

Learn how to integrate ServiceNow with Strata Cloud Manager.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
Strata Cloud Manager supports ServiceNow, an incident management platform that provides a common framework for managing incidents and notifying you about incidents through ServiceNow tickets. Any incident that Strata Cloud Manager creates will automatically create a ticket on ServiceNow. When Strata Cloud Manager scans your environment and detects a problem, it generates an incident and pushes it to ServiceNow as a ticket. Then, when you dismiss an incident, Strata Cloud Manager sends a state change notification to update the ticket status on ServiceNow.
ServiceNow has two types of integration: Bidirectional and unidirectional. A bidirectional integration means you’re pushing data to ServiceNow as well as getting data from ServiceNow. In a unidirectional integration, you’re only pushing data to ServiceNow.

Before You Proceed with ServiceNow Integration

ServiceNow integration might require cross-border data transfers. If your ServiceNow instance, your Strata Cloud Manager instance, or your Strata Cloud Manager interface users are located in multiple countries, you need to consent to and authorize any cross-border transfers of data.
Bidirectional Integration in ServiceNow
Bidirectional integration has four fields in the ServiceNow Mapped Field, three of which are mandatory if you opt for bidirectional integration.
  • ServiceNow Ticket ID—Mandatory
  • ServiceNow Operational Status—Mandatory
  • ServiceNow Priority—Mandatory
  • ServiceNow Assigned To—Optional. This field could have information such as name or email address

Set Up ServiceNow Integration

To set up a successful ServiceNow integration, we recommend that you change the maximum length of the ServiceNow columns to 300 characters to ensure that Prisma Access doesn't truncate the data.
  1. From the ServiceNow Tables & Columns page, go to Table Names, and select your <SNOW> table (see highlighted table name in the following image).
  2. Edit Table to make your changes.
