Role required: cmdb_inst_admin and now_assist_panel_user

About this task

This procedure describes how you can manually access the skill. In addition, any agentic workflow can use the skill.

When a ServiceNow Otto skill is enabled, the ServiceNow Otto icon [Omitted image "icon-otto-outline-24.svg"] icon appears in the toolbar of the workspace. For more information, see Working in the ServiceNow Otto panel.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Workspaces > Service Graph Workspace or Workspaces > CMDB Workspace.

  2. Select the ServiceNow Otto icon [Omitted image "icon-otto-outline-24.svg"] to open the ServiceNow Otto panel and then select or enter Diagnose a Service Graph Connector.

  3. Begin the diagnostic process by entering the connector name, specific data source, or import-set number of a Service Graph Connector.

    Note: If ServiceNow Otto doesn't recognize the entered text, it displays a list of the Service Graph Connectors installed on your instance by their discovery source names, such as SG-Infoblox. You can then select a connector for further diagnosis.

Option

Description

Connector name

Service Graph Connector name to diagnose.The app displays the connector name in the discovery source format, such as SG-Infoblox. However, you can enter any text that is associated with the connector name, for example, Service Graph Connector for AWS, AWS, or SG-AWS.

After you enter a connector name, you can select a data source that is associated with the connector, followed by a failed import set that is associated with the data source. Based on the inputs, the latest failed import set number is displayed. Alternatively, you can select to view other failed import sets, if available. If no failed import sets are available, you can enter a different connector name, data source, or import set number.

Data source name

Data source name for a connector to diagnose. For example, SG-AWS-Organization.After entering a data source that is associated with a connector, you can select a failed import set that is associated with the data source. Based on the inputs, the import set number that was last processed with errors is displayed. Alternatively, you can choose to view other failed import sets. If no failed import sets are available, you can select a different data source for the connector.

Import set

Import set number to diagnose. For example, ISET0010002.After entering an import set number, you can view the error summary that is associated with that import set. If the import set was processed without errors, a message indicating no errors is displayed.

4. Analyze other issues for the import set or other import set failures for the selected data source.
  1. If no other import set issues are observed within a data source, analyze a different data source for the connector.

Result

Agentic AI triggers the diagnosis process for the failed import sets. The ServiceNow Otto panel includes two key sections: Issue and Diagnosis recommendation, focused on the latest issue. The recommendation for an issue is based on a knowledge article matched using AI Search. A link to the knowledge article is provided in the Source section for additional guidance.

For issues related to Identification and Reconciliation engine (IRE), the panel provides a detailed summary of errors, including import errors, flow errors, partial payloads, and incomplete payloads.

Procedure

Provide feedback

If you think that the summary was helpful, select thumbs-up [Omitted image "icon-thumbs-up.png"]. If you think that the summary wasn’t helpful, select thumbs-down [Omitted image "icon-thumbs-down.png"].This feedback improves the agentic AI model and can help to improve the future versions of this skill. The system gathers the feedback on each generated summary and stores it in the agentic AI logs (sys_generative_ai_log_list.do).

Copy the summary

Select the copy to clipboard icon [Omitted image "icon-clipboard.png"] to use the content for another purpose, such as pasting into an email.
