ADDON-34668

ITSI ServiceNow TA passing timestamp in wrong format

Workaround:
1. From the ServiceNow interface, select Transform Maps under the System Import Sets -> Administration section and search for "Splunk Incident Transformation" under the Name column.

2. Click on the Splunk Incident Transformation transform map then scroll down under "Field Maps" till you find "sys_created_on" under the "Source Field" column.
3. Click on the "sys_created_on" row.
4. Change the Date format field from "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss" to "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" and click Update at the top right corner.
5. Again click on Update to update the "Splunk Incident Transformation" transform map.

Note: In some of the ServiceNow versions (eg. San Diego), it has been observed that UI is rendering the date format with 'HH' time stamp even though 'hh' is there in the backend. So to fix this type of issue open the transform mapping of 'sys_created_on' and remove the date format value whichever is present and re-update that with "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" value.

Upgrade guide

The upgrade notes below are intended for customers upgrading from either version 2.7.0 or 2.8.0 to version 2.9.0.

Splunk platform versions	6.1 or later
CIM	4.0 or later
Platforms	Linux
Vendor Products	ServiceNow Fuji, Eureka

Upgrade guide

Version 2.7.0 of this add-on removes support for ServiceNow versions Dublin and Calgary. The add-on retains backwards compatibility for these versions, so no migration activity is required as a result of this change.

The 2.7.0 version of the add-on uses a different API to connect to ServiceNow. The new API uses a different variation of the database table name for five tables in ServiceNow. If you had enabled these tables in the past, disable and delete these old inputs before upgrading the add-on to avoid confusion. Your old data remains valid and searchable, but all new data is indexed using the new naming.

1. Disable the following five inputs in your existing add-on:

cmdb_ci_list
cmn_location_list
sys_choice_list
sys_user_group_list
sys_user_list

2. Upgrade your add-on to version 2.7.0.

3. Open each of the new inputs and adjust the data collection start time to today to avoid collecting all historical data again.

cmdb_ci
cmn_location
sys_choice
sys_user_group
sys_user

4. Enable the new inputs.

5. Delete the five inputs ending with _list to avoid any future confusion.

ServiceNow version upgrade guide

If you were previously using the Splunk Add-on for ServiceNow with version Eureka, Dublin, or Calgary and you are now upgrading your ServiceNow instance to version Fuji, note the following behavior changes affecting incident and event creation and incident update:

1. Due to changes in ServiceNow version Fuji, snowincidentstream or snow_incident.py always creates a new incident rather than updating an existing incident, unless you supply the correlation_id for the existing incident that you wish to update.

2. Also, in ServiceNow versions Eureka, Dublin, or Calgary, for incident creation or update, if the combination of category, short_description, and contact_type, subcategory, and ci_identifier are not unique to a single incident, ServiceNow attempts to treat all affected tickets as the same ticket, causing conflicts. Similarly, for event creation, if the combination of node, resource, type, and severity are not unique to a single event, ServiceNow attempts to treat all affected events as the same event, causing conflicts. In ServiceNow version Fuji, ServiceNow no longer treats similar incidents or events as the same ticket unless the user provides an identical correlation_id.

Date	Defect number	Description
04/13/15	ADDON-3678	The transpose command in the add-on conflicts with a command in the Search and Reporting app and causes problems with Splunk App for Enterprise Security.
12/11/14	N/A	The custom search commands and alert-triggered scripts included in this add-on are limited in their ability to create and update events in ServiceNow, per ServiceNow design. For incident creation or update, if the combination of category, short_description, and contact_type are not unique to a single incident, ServiceNow will attempt to treat all affected tickets as the same ticket, causing conflicts. Similarly, for event creation, if the combination of node, resource, type, and severity are not unique to a single event, ServiceNow will attempt to treat all affected events as the same event, causing conflicts.
12/08/14	ADDON-2392	Fields in Splunk Web UI are not aligned on data input page.
11/18/14	ADDON-2334	When running a search "sourcetype=snow:change_request", the timestamp (in field sys_updated_on) is later than "now", which can cause incomplete search results.

Hardware and software requirements for the Splunk Add-on for ServiceNow

To install and configure the Splunk Add-on for ServiceNow, you must have an admin or sc_admin role. To perform push integration with ServiceNow, you must be an administrator or have the admin_all_objects capability in the Splunk platform. This requirement applies to custom commands and alert-triggered scripts.

ServiceNow setup requirements

See the following hardware and software requirements for ingesting data into your Splunk platform deployment from your ServiceNow instance. See the release notes of this manual to learn about supported versions of ServiceNow.

ServiceNow account requirements for integration

You must configure permissions in your ServiceNow account to collect data and for push integration. To set up push integration from the Splunk platform to ServiceNow, see Configure ServiceNow to integrate with the Splunk platform, which includes instructions for configuring access control rules that allow the ServiceNow account to access the data and to perform push integration enabled by the add-on.

If you do not use push integration, create an ACL that has read-only access to all database tables from which you want to collect data. Some of these database tables are restricted to administrators by default.

ServiceNow administrator access for setup

You must have an administrator account on your ServiceNow instance to set up integration with the Splunk platform. This is required to enable users to create ServiceNow incidents and events from the Splunk platform.

ServiceNow Event Management plugin

You must install and enable the Event Management plugin in your ServiceNow environment to:

Use the event-related workflow actions included in this add-on.
Support event-related push integration with ServiceNow.

To see which push integration features require the plugin, see About the commands, alert actions, and scripts available with the Splunk Add-on for ServiceNow. Install and enable the Event Management plugin before you perform the steps in Configure ServiceNow to integrate with the Splunk platform.

Without the Event Management plugin, you can use this add-on to pull data from ServiceNow and create and update incidents from the Splunk platform. You cannot create events from the Splunk platform without the Event Management plugin.

For more about the Event Management plugin, search for "Event Management" in the ServiceNow product documentation.

ServiceNow Oauth setup requirements

The Splunk Add-on for ServiceNow supports Oauth 2.0 communication between your ServiceNow instance and your Splunk platform deployment.

Install and activate the Oauth plugin on your ServiceNow instance to use the feature of OAuth 2.0 from Splunk Add-on for ServiceNow.
Verify the property com.snc.platform.security.oauth.is.active is set to true.

See Configure ServiceNow to integrate with the Splunk platform for detailed Oauth application registry setup at ServiceNow.

Splunk platform requirements

Because this add-on runs on the Splunk platform, all of the system requirements apply for the Splunk software that you use to run this add-on.

For Splunk Enterprise system requirements, see System Requirements in the Splunk Enterprise Installation Manual.
To run this add-on entirely in Splunk Cloud, there are no additional Splunk platform requirements.
For Splunk Light system requirements, see System Requirements in the Splunk Light Installation Manual.
To manage on-premises forwarders to get data into Splunk Cloud, see System Requirements in the Splunk Enterprise Installation Manual.
