ServiceNow ITOM (IT Operations Management)

With ServiceNow Event Management administrators can create actionable alerts with integrations from industry-leading event monitoring platforms, such as System Center Operations Manager, Nagios, SolarWinds, Splunk, Dyantrace, and Moogsoft. When Event Management is used in conjunction with Orchestration, the ServiceNow platform provides a means for automated remediation and dynamic service restoration. Alert rules can be established to deduplicate data, normalize events and only create incidents on meaningful event data.

The ServiceNow Discovery product gives you the means to create an accurate, up to date single system of record for your business services, applications, and infrastructure.

With ServiceNow Discovery, module scan schedules are fully manageable to ensure the accuracy of your CMDB and enrich asset data. Discovery helps maintain application architecture in near real-time by regularly scanning infrastructure and maintaining relationships with each application service.
