Logging & Traceability in ServiceNow – Lessons from a Personal Project

Hi Community,

 

While working on a personal ServiceNow project in my Personal Developer Instance, one thing I underestimated initially was logging and traceability. It quickly became clear how important this is—even for small solutions.

 

A few takeaways that might help others:

• Add basic logs early to understand how automations behave
• Track decisions made by workflows or scripts for easier troubleshooting
• Use audit fields consistently for visibility and accountability
• Clear traceability makes explaining solutions much easier later

 

This was a self-initiated learning project, not production work, but these practices made a big difference in debugging and clarity.

 

Question to the community:


How do you usually handle logging and traceability in your ServiceNow implementations?

 

Looking forward to learning from your approaches.
