Performance Monitoring and Health Dashboard

As ServiceNow instances grow with data, customizations, and integrations, performance and health monitoring becomes critical. Performance Monitoring tracks system speed, memory, transaction logs, and response times. Health Dashboard provides a visual, consolidated view of instance health across performance, configuration, and error metrics.

Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a commitment between a service provider and a customer that defines response and resolution targets for tasks like incidents, problems, requests, or changes. In ServiceNow, SLAs are automatically tracked against records, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Data Archiving

As organizations use ServiceNow for years, the database grows rapidly with incidents, requests, change records, audit data, and logs. This can: Slow down performance. Increase storage costs. Make reporting harder. Data Archiving helps solve this by moving old and inactive records from primary tables into archive tables, improving performance while keeping the data accessible.

Data Encryption and Certificates

In ServiceNow, data security is a top priority. Sensitive data must be protected both: At Rest → Data stored in the database. In Transit → Data transferred between ServiceNow and clients/servers. To achieve this, ServiceNow provides robust encryption mechanisms and certificate management features.

Record Producers, Order Guides

Within the Service Catalog, ServiceNow offers specialized catalog item types beyond standard requests: Record Producers → Create records directly in tables (like Incident, Change, Problem, HR Case). Order Guides → Allow users to request multiple catalog items in one request, streamlining complex processes (like onboarding).

Catalog Items

Catalog Items are the building blocks of the Service Catalog in ServiceNow. They represent products, services, or requests that users can order. Examples: Requesting a laptop, password reset, access to an application, or booking a training course.

Risk Assessment and Conflicts

In ITIL and ServiceNow, Risk Assessment and Conflict Detection are critical for ensuring that changes, releases, and IT operations don’t cause unintended service disruptions. Risk Assessment → Evaluates potential negative impacts of proposed changes. Conflict Detection → Identifies scheduling or dependency clashes between multiple changes.

Root Cause Analysis

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a structured method for identifying the underlying cause of incidents and problems in IT services. While Incident Management focuses on restoring service quickly, RCA is a Problem Management activity aimed at finding and eliminating the cause to prevent recurrence. ServiceNow provides tools and processes that make RCA systematic and traceable.

Problem Management Advanced

Problem Management in ServiceNow is the ITIL-aligned process that focuses on identifying the root cause of recurring incidents and preventing them from happening again. Incident Management = fixes symptoms quickly. Problem Management = fixes the root cause permanently.
