Example

The following example demonstrates typical use of Workflow Engine function getServiceNowEnrichment. It assumes you have set up and configured the ServiceNow CMDB integration with:

  • A database definition of "localmdb".

  • A table definition name of "ci"

See Enrich Alerts with ServiceNow Data for the full workflow.

To retrieve data from a record in an external database and store specific columns in the alert’s custom_info, set the following:

  • tableDefName: ci

The UI translates your settings to the following JSON:

{"databaseDefName":"localcmdb","tableDefName":"ci"}

The function retrieves the data and adds it to custom info:
