Logging & Traceability in ServiceNow – Lessons from a Personal Project

Hi Community,

 

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

 

A few practical takeaways that might help others:

 

• Adding simple logs early makes troubleshooting much easier
• Tracking decisions made by workflows or scripts improves clarity
• Consistent use of audit fields helps with accountability
• Clear traceability makes solutions easier to explain and maintain

 

This was a self-initiated learning project (not production work), but these practices made a big difference in understanding and improving the solution.

 

Question to the community:


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

 

Looking forward to learning from your experiences.
