Site24x7 to ServiceNow CMDB integration: CI mapping reference

Site24x7 to ServiceNow CMDB integration: CI mapping reference

Site24x7 provides integration with ServiceNow, allowing seamless population of Configuration Items (CIs) in your ServiceNow CMDB based on your monitored resources in Site24x7.
This article provides a reference for the field mappings used during the CMDB integration. The mapping is organized based on monitor categories like servers, websites, databases, containers, and more.

Mapping sheet overview

The attached sheet contains the following columns:

Column name
Description
Monitor type

Site24x7 monitor type (e.g., NETWORK DEVICES).
CI Type
The corresponding ServiceNow CI table (e.g., u_cmdb_ci_wm_ec2autoscaling).
Site24x7 field
Attribute name as sent from Site24x7 (e.g., INSTANCE_ID, URLID).
ServiceNow field
Target field in the ServiceNow CI table (e.g., u_instance_id, u_monitor_id).

How it works

During the CMDB sync process:

  1. Site24x7 retrieves monitor metadata and metrics.
  2. These fields are then mapped based on the configuration defined in this mapping sheet.
  3. The data is pushed into ServiceNow CI tables (custom or native) using REST API.
Notes
  1. Custom CI types in ServiceNow must be created with fields corresponding to the target fields in this mapping.
  2. The integration supports JSON-based configuration to customize this mapping.
