    Key Features

    • Imports data into a normalized data model for consistency across technologies.
    • Supports ServiceNow versions: Washington DC, Xanadu, Yokohama.
    • Enables tracking of both customer-facing APIs and backend services, assisting in incident management and vulnerability tracking.

    Use Cases

    • Maintain an inventory of APIs, tracking which are published and utilized.
    • Identify impacted endpoints when services change or fail, and generate incidents for reported issues.
    • Address vulnerabilities and compliance requirements related to API security.

    Configuration

    To configure the connector, utilize the SGC Central view in the CMDB Workspace for a guided setup, as the traditional setup method is being deprecated. This view facilitates the management of the connector’s lifecycle.

    Data Mapping

    The connector employs the Robust Transform Engine (RTE) to map data from Apigee X into CMDB Configuration Item (CI) classes. Data can be periodically pulled from an Apigee X application after initial setup. Key data sources and their mappings include:

    • Organizations, Folders, Projects, Managed APIs, API Consumers, and more.

    Refer to the IntegrationHub ETL app for detailed data maps and storage information regarding the API Service Graph Connector for Apigee X.

    Use the ServiceNow® API Service Graph Connector for Apigee X to import API proxy details from an Apigee X application into the Configuration Management Database (CMDB).

    Key features

    Import data into a normalized data model for consistency across other technologies.

    Supported ServiceNow versions

    • Washington DC
    • Xanadu
    • Yokohama
    • Zurich

    Use cases

    You can use the API Service Graph Connector for Apigee X to:
    • Maintain an end-to-end inventory of exposed and backend APIs, identifying what APIs are published, used, and by whom.
    • Track APIs from customer-facing endpoints to the underlying services, identifying impacted endpoints when services change or fail and creating incidents for reported issues.
    • Address vulnerabilities and security incidents related to API endpoints, and create compliance requirements to measure against.

    Configuring a connection for the connector

    You can configure a connection for the connector by using the SGC Central view in the CMDB Workspace. The view enables you to discover and install connectors, and then effectively manage the full life cycle of creating, editing, monitoring, and debugging connections. To configure the connector using SGC Central, see Configure API Service Graph Connector for Apigee X using SGC Central.
    Important:
    Unless there are configuration issues, use the SGC Central view in the CMDB Workspace to configure the connection for the connector, as the guided setup method is being deprecated.

    Data mapping

    Data from the Apigee X data sources is mapped and transformed into the CMDB Configuration Item (CI) class definitions using the Robust Transform Engine (RTE). Data is inserted into the CMDB using the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE).

    When you complete setting up the connection, you can configure the integration to periodically pull data from an Apigee X application.

    Record removal process

    The connector supports soft deletion for CMDB CI classes only, meaning records are not permanently removed from the system. Instead, any CMDB CI records not discovered during the last scheduled job run are marked as Non-Operational.
