The Service Graph Connector for AWS enables customers to seamlessly and securely bring their AWS data into ServiceNow CMDB. The integration uses AWS native technologies and AWS security best practices to enable teams to connect the cloud data within their ServiceNow workflows. The Service Graph Connector for AWS relies on cloud formation templates, S3 buckets, AWS Config, and AWS SSM, enabling customers to set up the connector once and then scale as they bring in more accounts, services, and more data types – securely, easily, and with complete control, with minimal access and credential requirements. Service Graph Connectors help you get your AWS data into ServiceNow CMDB to drive business outcomes faster.
Key use cases:
- Visibility into cloud resources, relationships, and state in near real-time
- Deep discovery of applications for ITAM/SAM outcomes
- Governance and compliance outcomes
- Simplified onboarding experience
- Minimal credentials requirement
- Coverage for multiple AWS accounts across the organization
- Automatic incorporation of new account or region addition
- No MID Server required (can be optionally used if needed)
- Near real-time discovery of changes
New:

- Implemented AutoScaling groups resource type.
Fixed
- Resolved a test connection failure in SG-AWS version 2.13.0 that prevented successful connectivity validation.
- Resolved the issue where duplicate data was added to the staging table when the enableDbConfigLoad property is set to true.
- Resolved the issue where duplicate records were created due to inconsistent Object ID values for generic resources.

Usage of this Service Graph Connector requires a subscription to Subscription Unit based IT Operations Management (ITOM) Visibility or ITOM Discovery application. Managed IT Resources (as defined in Section 1.1 of the ServiceNow Subscription Unit Overview - https://www.servicenow.com/content/dam/servicenow-assets/public/en-us/doc-type/legal/servicenow-subscription-unit-overview.pdf) created or modified in the CMDB by this Service Graph Connector, but not yet managed by ITOM Visibility or ITOM Discovery, will increase Subscription Unit consumption within that application. Customers should review their current Subscription Unit consumption within ITOM Visibility or ITOM Discovery to ensure available capacity.
