Integration with ServiceNow

You can integrate ServiceNow with an alert policy to automatically create an incident on your ServiceNow tenant if there is an issue with a Scout.

After you create the ServiceNow integration, you can select the integration as the notification method when you create an alert policy. For details, view Alert Policies.
