ServiceNow Events - Apache Kafka Integration

[Sumeet Verma1]

Hi,

Has anyone done ServiceNow Events - Apache Kafka Integration?

we need to send ServiceNow events to Apache Kafka but i guess Apache Kafka is not that supported with APIs.

any suggestions pls?

Can you send Apache Kafka events via a direct HTTPS REST type of call?  If so that would be very doable, if not you might need to think about this as a query from Apache Kafka to check ServiceNow for events instead.  I have done both of these using Mulesoft before, and done Mulesoft to Apache Kafka but haven't ever connected directly to Kafka from ServiceNow.

Thanks for the reply Aoife,

my need is to send ServiceNow events directly to Apache Kafka but i'm not sure whether Kafka has enough API capability to consume it. never interacted much on Kafka. do you have fair idea on Apache Kafka API capability.

i got this doc reference for Kafka for now - https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/kafka-rest/api.html#partitions

if there's no way of sending direct events from ServiceNow to Apache Kafka then another method we're thinking of ServiceNow -> TIBCO -> Apache Kafka.

That I am not sure of.  I'm know quite a bit about ActiveMQ, not so much about Kafka.  

If TIBCO can take a direct REST call to push in data then it can connect to Kafka to put the data on a queue then I would try that.  ServiceNow has incredible REST API capability but nothing yet for queues like ActiveMQ or Kafka.
