Important information for upgrading Service Graph Connector for Tanium
Basic authentication is not supported for setting up Service Graph Connector for Tanium 2.0.0. If you're currently using a multi-connection setup with basic authentication, you must delete those connections along with their associated data sources and scheduled imports before upgrading to Service Graph Connector for Tanium 2.0.0.
For more information, see the Service Graph Connector for Tanium - Basic Authentication Deprecation in Tanium v2.0, Procedure to Remove Service Graph Connection and Associated Records [KB2789721] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.
Configuring a connection for the connector
CMDB integrations dashboard
The Integration Commons for CMDB store app provides a dashboard with a central view of the status, processing results, and processing errors of all installed integrations. You can see metrics for all integration runs. You can filter the view to a specific CMDB integration, a specific time duration, or a specific integration run. For more details about monitoring Tanium integrations in the CMDB Integrations Dashboard, see Using the CMDB Integrations Dashboard.
Data mapping
Data from the Tanium data sources is mapped and transformed into the ServiceNow CMDB Configuration Item (CI) class definitions using the Robust Transform Engine (RTE). Data is inserted into the ServiceNow CMDB using the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE).
| Data source | Staging table | Target tables | Resource types |
|---|---|---|---|
| SG-Tanium Hardware and Software | SG Tanium Import [sn_tanium_integ_sg_tanium_import] |
When the Software Asset Management (SAM) application isn't installed: When the SAM application is installed: |
Server and software |
| SG-Tanium Remove Software | Integration Commons Remove Record [sn_cmdb_int_util_remove_record] |
None |
None |
| SG-Tanium Usage | SG Tanium Usage Import [sn_tanium_integ_sg_tanium_usage_import] |
Software Usage [samp_sw_usage] |
None |
- The SG-Tanium Usage data source is available only when the Software Asset Management Professional plugin (com.snc.samp) plugin is activated on your ServiceNow instance. See Request Software Asset Management.
- The SG-Tanium Remove Software data source creates import sets and uses the transform map-based method for removing any target records for software data that weren't updated in the last delta query check. See Managing CMDB data deletion.
- A buffer time is added for software removal when the buffer_days_from_last_scan_for_hardware system property is enabled in Service Graph Connector for Tanium version 1.8.0 and later. When this system property is enabled, the software removal candidate is removed only if the last scan time of the hardware on which the software removal candidate
is installed is earlier than the last success import time + buffer time.
To enable this property, set the value of the buffer_days_from_last_scan_for_hardware system property to a non-zero numeral value according to the number of days of buffer that you require. To disable this property, set the value to 0.
You can use the IntegrationHub ETL app to view the data maps. See IntegrationHub ETL for more information.
