Are you manually populating network device inventory details through the ServiceNow GUI? What you need is an automated solution that can communicate with the network, capture data from it, transform that data, and pass it to ServiceNow to update the inventory.
Explore how to integrate Itential automations with ServiceNow using APIs in order to create a new inventory table and populate it with details from the live network, which creates the opportunity to utilize ServiceNow as a source of truth for network inventory.
Watch this live demo to see how to:
- Create a new inventory table in ServiceNow and define necessary fields.
- Use Itential to create an automation to query network devices.
- Expand the workflow to populate and inventory table in ServiceNow.
- Query ServiceNow as a source of truth for network inventory.
