run script on app server and db server

[Gaurav Garg3]

Hello Team,

I want to send metrics data from customer instances to Big Data. Big Data receives data via kafka topic.
It seems we need to have producer inside 'Cloud VPN' since kafka end point is guarded behind VPN. Hence we need to host producer at app server or db server.

Can someone pleasse share - 
1. Info about app server and db server. what is the arch. around it ? How they interact and how they are hosted ?
2. How can I run scripts from db server or app server ?
3. Can we query cmdb from DB server ?
4. What would be deployment process ?

Given ServiceNow is a hosted service, you don't have that access on APP/DB servers.

For Kafka connections, I would highly recommend looking at Stream Connect - it will allow you to connect to topics on a Kafka instance.

Here are the Docs for Stream Connect.
