How to collect from custom tables using the Service Now Add-on?

[althomas]

Hi all,

In the previous version, I had a number of inputs set up to collect from custom tables. This was mostly to enrich data from the CMDB so we can use this in Splunk for various reasons.

In version 4.0,0, it looks like the collection from custom tables has been disabled and limited to just 23 tables, as per https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/ServiceNow/Configureinputs.

I tried just manually updating inputs.conf and hoping for the best, but this doesn't seem to work. Example below:

[snow://alm_hardware]
duration = 900
account = SNow PROD
timefield = sys_updated_on
id_field = sys_id
disabled = 0
index=snow
since_when = 2019-08-16 09:25:37

Does anyone have any insight into what I need to do to get this to work properly?

Thanks!

If you're looking for an efficient and functional ServiceNow to Splunk integration (also CMDB) take a look at: https://www.thedutchdatadifference.nl/splunk-servicenow/

I created that solution and continuously adding new features. You can easily extend the solution to add custom tables.

Solution:
I was missing the table parameter, now it works!

Full config for this entry:
[snow://alm_hardware]
duration = 900
account = SNow PROD
timefield = sys_updated_on
id_field = sys_id
disabled = 0
index = snow
since_when = 2019-08-16 09:25:37
table = alm_hardware
