ServiceNow Incident Reports
ServiceNow Incident Reports allows you to push incident data into BigPanda.
The ServiceNow Incident Reports feature allows you to push incident data into BigPanda. Fields can be customized and adjusted if you rely on properties that differ from BigPanda’s standards.
Supported Versions | Type | Authentication Type |
---|---|---|
Washington DC, Vancouver, Utah, Tokyo, San Diego, Rome | API | User API Key and Org Bearer Token |
Key Features
- Export both historical and new SNOW Incident Data into BigPanda
- Customize the fields used when generating these reports and frequency of updates.
How it Works
At the requested interval, BigPanda will perform a download of all Incidents present in ServiceNow. That data will be exported to a BigPanda-owned S3 bucket, which will then be delivered to BigPanda’s data warehouse.

Uninstall the Integration

When replacing an existing integration with a new tool or system, we recommend configuring the new integration first to ensure no data is lost.
