ServiceNow webhook

This guide describes how to integrate Zabbix 7.0 installation with ServiceNow using the Zabbix webhook feature. This guide provides instructions on setting up a media type, a user and an action in Zabbix.
Please note that recovery and update operations and ServiceNow's custom fields are supported only for trigger-based events.

Setting up ServiceNow

1. First, create a service user for creating incidents.

2. Assign to the newly created user the following roles:

  • rest_api_explorer
  • sn_incident_write

Setting up webhook in Zabbix

1. Before setting up a ServiceNow Webhook, it is recommended to set up a global macro "{$ZABBIX.URL}" containing a URL to the Zabbix frontend.
As an example, this macro can be used to populate ServiceNow's custom field with a URL to event info or graph.

2. In the "Administration -> Media types" section, import the media_servicenow.yaml

3. Open the newly added ServiceNow media type and replace all <PLACEHOLDERS> with your values.
The following parameters are required:
servicenow_user - login of the ServiceNow user created earlier
servicenow_password - user's password

To export information into a ServiceNow custom field, add a parameter with the custom field ID as a key (if you need help finding custom field ID, see this page in ServiceNow community).

Notes:

  • ServiceNow instance must be in the same timezone as your Zabbix server.
  • For fields with "Date/time" type, parameter values must be separated via space (example: "{EVENT.DATE} {EVENT.TIME}"). See the ServiceNow documentation for details about the date and time format.
  • Values of the parameters with date only will be converted from Zabbix format "yyyy.MM.dd" to "yyyy-MM-dd" for compatibility with the ServiceNow's API. These parameters must contain only macros that return the date (e.g. {EVENT.DATE} or {EVENT.RECOVERY.DATE}).
  • If you don't want to duplicate information in a description field and the custom fields, modify the message templates for Problem, Problem recovery and Problem update types in the Message templates tab.

4. Create a Zabbix user and add Media with the ServiceNow media type.
The Send to field must contain the full URL of your ServiceNow instance (https://<INSTANCE>.service-now.com/).
Make sure this user has access to all hosts for which you would like problem notifications to be converted into ServiceNow tasks.

For more information see Zabbix and ServiceNow documentations.
