Set up an integration to stream log data from Amazon Data Firehose directly to the ServiceNow datacenter, where it’s queued for Health Log Analytics processing. There’s no need to store AWS keys on your ServiceNow instance.

Before you begin

Set up MID-less log streaming via ITOM Gateway. Choose the deployment method based on your expected log volume. For more information, see MID-less log streaming via ITOM Gateway in Health Log Analytics.

As an alternative to the provided procedure, set up a MID-less integration for HLA from an AI-enabled MCP Client. For more information, see MID-less log ingestion for HLA from an MCP Client.

Role required: evt_mgmt_admin

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Workspaces > Service Operations Workspace.

  2. From the navigation pane, select the AIOps configuration center icon [Omitted image "icon-itom-aiops-config.png"] Alt text: ITOM AIOps configuration center icon.

    The ITOM AIOps configuration center page appears. The configuration center is a centralized workspace. Use it to configure and manage AIOps features from a single place.

  3. From the Integrate section, under Integrations, select Add integration.

    The Integrations Launchpad appears.

  4. In the Browse integrations tab, enter Firehose in the search field.

  5. Select the Amazon Data Firehose (MID-less) integration tile.

    Note: If you start an integration setup before meeting all prerequisites, a message appears. You can cancel the setup and complete the prior requirements first. Alternatively, you can continue in draft mode and complete the requirements later. Note that you can't activate the integration until you have completed all the prerequisites.

  6. On the Provide details form, fill in the fields.

    For a description of the fields, see Amazon Data Firehose integration configuration fields.

  7. Select Next.

  8. Follow one of the procedures provided on the Set-up instruction screen to install the integration in AWS.

    You can perform the installation procedure using either AWS CloudFormation or the AWS Management Console. Both methods require the same input. The appropriate choice depends on your requirements and the size of your deployment:

    • Use AWS CloudFormation when you need automation, repeatability, and infrastructure-as-code benefits. It's best for deploying standardized configurations across multiple environments. AWS CloudFormation prompts for input automatically.
    • Use the AWS Management Console when you need manual setups or quick configurations without automation. Before you perform either of these procedures, copy the access token, the ServiceNow endpoint URL, and the integration ID to the clipboard. You need these values during the installation process.
  9. Do one of the following.

    • If you completed all the prerequisites before starting the configuration, activate the integration either with or without AI-powered capabilities. Select the appropriate option.

      • Activate with AI enables AI-powered automatic parsing and mapping of log data to service instances and components for contextual alerts.

        When the integration is activated successfully, the Overview tab is displayed. ServiceNow Otto for ITOM collects and analyzes log data. An AI icon indicates that AI is active.

      • Activate activates the integration without AI-powered mapping. The integration is activated and the Overview tab is displayed. On the Integrations Launchpad, the integration tile is available in the Installed integrations tab.

    • If you didn't complete all the prior requirements, select Save draft.

      The system saves the integration as a draft in the Integrations Launchpad Installed integrations tab, under Waiting for your action. At a later time, complete the prerequisites and activate the installation. For more information, see Activate a draft integration in Health Log Analytics.

What to do next

On the Overview tab, do the following:

If you activated the integration with AI, verify that AI correctly auto-mapped log data to service instances and components. To do this, select View mapping under Log context mapping. You can override the AI mapping by selecting a different log field from each list. For more information, see Map logs to service instances, components, source types.
