ServiceNow · Assurance Integration

Assurance connected to the system of record.

This is the bridge AccuOSS is built to deliver: faults detected by IBM Netcool or Oracle Unified Assurance, flowing into ServiceNow as service-aware incidents — and status flowing back — bi-directionally, in real time.

The Bridge

Two systems of record, kept in sync.

A network operations center runs on its assurance platform; the enterprise runs on ServiceNow. The value is in the bridge between them — and that bridge is exactly what AccuOSS builds and operates. Events from an assurance tool enter ServiceNow Event Management, become de-duplicated alerts bound to configuration items, and open incidents with real service impact; the resolution then flows back to the source so neither system is ever wrong.

There is more than one way to build it, and the right one depends on your estate — a lightweight event push, a polling connector, or a vendor's own gateway. AccuOSS designs, implements, and operates whichever fits, and tunes the event filtering so only the alerts that should raise a ticket ever do.

The Integration Paths

The right connection for your estate.

Event Management web service

Assurance tools post events to Event Management's inbound web service as JSON; a de-duplication key collapses repeats into one alert, ready to correlate to a configuration item.

Push & pull connectors

Tools push events by webhook, or ServiceNow pulls them on a schedule through a connector running on a MID Server — REST, SOAP, JDBC, or SNMP.

Bi-directional ticketing

IBM's own Netcool/OMNIbus gateway for ServiceNow creates incidents from alarms, receives back the incident number and identifier, and syncs subsequent changes both ways — a fully closed loop.

IntegrationHub & Service Graph

A large library of prebuilt integrations drives outbound API calls and status sync, while Service Graph Connectors keep assurance-sourced inventory flowing into the CMDB.

End to End

The closed loop, step by step.

  1. Detect
    IBM Netcool or Oracle Unified Assurance detects the fault and raises an event.
  2. Deliver
    The event is delivered to ServiceNow — pushed to the Event Management web service, or pulled by a connector on a MID Server.
  3. Normalize
    Event Management de-duplicates and groups the event into a single alert and binds it to its configuration item.
  4. Raise
    An alert rule opens an ITSM incident with service impact attached, routed to the owning team.
  5. Reconcile
    Updates and resolution sync back to the source assurance platform, so the NOC and ServiceNow always agree.

How AccuOSS delivers it

AccuOSS knows both Netcool/Oracle and ServiceNow.

We know Netcool and Oracle Unified Assurance from the inside, and we know ServiceNow's Event Management, CMDB, and workflow. That is exactly what a closed-loop integration demands.

  • Event delivery designed for your estate and volumes

  • Event filtering so only the right alerts raise tickets

  • CI binding and service-impact mapping that hold up

  • Bi-directional status sync, proven end to end

  • Operated and tuned as the network evolves

Close the loop between your NOC and ServiceNow.

AccuOSS designs, builds, and operates the bi-directional bridge from your assurance platforms into ServiceNow.
