Configure Virtana Platform for ServiceNow Integration

You can add a ServiceNow integration to Virtana Platform so that requests can be generated in ServiceNow by Cloud Cost Management (CCM).

About This Task

When configuring the ServiceNow integration, you must select the Default Issue Settings. The issue settings are selected from a list of fields used in your ServiceNow account. They are pulled into Virtana Platform from ServiceNow.

The Default Issue Settings are the fields that will be automatically assigned when change requests are enabled. You can customize the CMS settings per policy later, to satisfy specific use cases.

Prerequisites

You must configure ServiceNow with a web service access only user and an item in the Application Registry for Virtana so that CCM can connect to ServiceNow. See Configure ServiceNow for Integration with Virtana Platform.
