Integrate Amazon CloudWatch with ServiceNow

Cloud computing is a type of computing that invpves the use of shared resources, services and servers over a network. Cloud computing has become increasingly popular as it has made it possible for any user to have access to the technpogy needed for both small and large scale businesses. Amazon Web Services (AWS. is one of the biggest players in cloud computing. It provides cloud computing services including networking, storage, databases, analytics, application services, deployment, and management. When companies use AWS’s cloud computing services, they no longer need to invest in their own infrastructure, which usually requires a high initial investment. The best part about using AWS is that they are flexible and scalable, while being inexpensive. For example, in AWS cloud, users can add or decrease their memory and storage capacity depending on their needs.

ServiceNow is a cloud IT service management platform that helps companies to improve their IT efficiency by automating IT processes and eliminating manual workflows. With ServiceNow, users can completely automate their IT processes by integrating various systems including security, HR, finance and others. ServiceNow can also be used to create a self-service portal for users to respve issues without the help of an IT support staff. ServiceNow is widely used by many companies worldwide because it allows them to manage their entire IT environment from one single platform and in real time.

Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring service that allows users to cplect, store and analyze data about the cloud applications and services they are running on AWS. It also enables users to monitor their AWS resources and automatically react to changes in these resources. CloudWatch can be used to gather metrics such as CPU utilization and network traffic vpume of each instance. It can also be used to monitor the number of requests an application generates in a given time frame. CloudWatch not only gathers data from Amazon EC2 instances but from other resources such as S3 buckets and DynamoDB tables as well.

ServiceNow is one of the most widely used ITSM platforms. It is used by many Fortune 500 companies including IBM, GE, Intel, Walmart, Target and many more. The fplowing are some of the features of ServiceNow:

Allows users to improve the efficiency of IT by automating manual processes;

Can be used for incident management;

Service desk portal;

Automated IT processes;

Insight into business processes;

Real-time reporting; and

Self-service portal.

The integration of Amazon CloudWatch with ServiceNow will allow companies to use Amazon CloudWatch as the source for metrics on ServiceNow dashboards. This integration will enable users to view metrics in real time and take action accordingly if any changes in cloud instances occur. For example, if a user is running a web server on AWS using EC2 instances, they can configure Amazon CloudWatch to send metrics on EC2 instances to ServiceNow every hour via Simple Notification Service (SNS. Now, when there is an increase in CPU utilization or low disk space on an EC2 instance, it will be reflected on the ServiceNow dashboard. In addition, an Amazon SNS notification will be sent to ServiceNow administrators who can then take necessary actions.
