ServiceInsight works alongside the DataSync application and the DataSync Agent. Leveraging the DataSync application, your data from your ServiceNow instance will be shared out to the Perspectium Integration Mesh where the DataSync Agent will then read this data into a database. You have the option to either use your own database (see list supported database list below) and your own self-hosted DataSync Agent, or a Perspectium-hosted option where the DataSync Agent and a cloud database (MariaDB) will be set up in the Perspectium Integration Mesh. Your integrated data will then be available to see in a supported analytics application.
Supported Analytics Application
- Tableau
Supported Database
- MySQL
- MSSQL
- Postgres
- Oracle
Prerequisites
First, you will first need to install the Perspectium application into your ServiceNow instance by installing update sets in the following order:
- Perspectium Core update set
- Perspectium ServiceInsight update set
Follow the link to Get Started with DataSync for ServiceNow.
Then, you will need a supported database and an analytics application installed.
Initial Setup
Upon the initial configurations for viewing your dashboards, you have two options:Option 1: Use your own database and your own self-hosted DataSync Agent.
Option 2: Use a Perspectium-hosted option where the DataSync Agent and a cloud database (MariaDB) will be set up in the Perspectium Integration Mesh.
NOTE: If you are using Oracle as your database, additional configuration is needed.
