ITAM & CMDB - ServiceNow Integration - Tanium Tech Talks #85

ITAM & CMDB - ServiceNow Integration - Tanium Tech Talks #85

Apr 3, 2024

See how Tanium can feed your ServiceNow CMDB with fresh asset inventory on today's Tanium Tech Talk. We're going to start at the beginning with asset data: hardware, software, usage, and more. Many Tanium customers update their ServiceNow CMDB multiple times per day to enjoy the benefits of accurate and timely asset data.

  • Populate your ServiceNow ITAM/CMDB with fresh data multiple times per day to enable service desk and business use cases
  • Push from Tanium, or pull from ServiceNow with the Service Graph Connector (preferred)
  • Related CI data: hardware, software, network adapters, disks, file systems
  • Customize the tables and fields you desire to send

SERVICE GRAPH CONNECTOR IS THE PREFERRED METHOD.
