Hi
it is not possible to login to a ServiceNow instance via terminal (SSH or not - it doesn't matter).
ServiceNow is a web-based application and the only way you can interact with ServiceNow is via HTTP(S) protocol.
But there is a way to fetch the so-called node logs which provide a deep insight into the what's going on in the underlying application servers (Apache Tomcat).

I dont think so.
The whole thing ( if I remember correctly), is that if you ssh into the instance through the terminal, you can see A LOT of really good log data that can help with troubleshooting
so I am not sure
