ServiceNow integration password for service account

Our ServiceNow and Splunk integration has worked seamless for a few years.  Today we started getting this error in Splunk:  "Unable to update ServiceNow incident. ServiceNow API credentials are invalid"

I have reset the ServiceNow service account password (generated by ServiceNow) and after entering the password in Splunk I get "Could not save ServiceNow settings"

I have tried multiple passwords generated by ServiceNow because I cannot manually set this in ServiceNow.  Does anyone know if Splunk has limitations on the password?

A few questions to better understand your issue:

  • When you get the “Could not save ServiceNow settings” error, are there any detailed error messages or logs from Splunk?
  • Have you verified the new password works by testing the ServiceNow API directly outside of Splunk?
  • Is the service account still active and has the required permissions to update incidents via the API?
  • Were there any recent changes in Splunk or ServiceNow configurations related to this integration?

Answers to these will help pinpoint the cause.

In addition to the frontend errors you are seeing, are there any errors in the Splunk logs? Check your _internal log or $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log for other errors relating to this app, is there any more specific errors?
