Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
auth string |
| The method used to authenticate with the Service Now instance. Basic authentication uses user name and password. OAuth authentication uses a client id and secret in addition to Basic authentication. Token authentication uses a bearer token in addition to OAuth authentication. OpenID Connect authentication, an extension of OAuth 2.0, uses a provider, like Okta, to obtain a bearer token. If the vaule is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable SN_AUTH will be used instead. |
client_id string | Client ID generated by ServiceNow. Required when using OAuth or OpenID authentication, unless token is specified. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable SN_CLIENTID will be used instead. | |
client_secret string | Client Secret associated with client id. Required when using OAuth or OpenID authentication, unless token is specified. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable SN_CLIENTSECRET will be used instead. | |
display_value boolean |
| sysparm_display_value |
exclude_reference_link boolean |
| sysparm_exclude_reference_link |
host string | The ServiceNow hostname. This value is FQDN for ServiceNow host. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable SN_HOST will be used instead.Mutually exclusive with instance . | |
instance string | The ServiceNow instance name, without the domain, service-now.com. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable SN_INSTANCE will be used instead. | |
log_level string |
| Set the logging level of the module |
max_records integer | Default: 20 | Maximum number of records to return. |
openid dictionary | If the result of a previous SNOW method, using OpenID, was registered, supply the openid key, from the result.The openid key contains a dictionary with the bearer token, which, if still valid, can be reused.If the bearer token is no longer valid, the dictionary includes all of the previously supplied openid_ fields needed to make a new token request.Any other credentials previously supplied, must be provided again. | |
openid_issuer string | The URL for your organization's OpenID Connect provider. Okta, an OpenID provider, supports Single Sign-On with a url like 'https://yourorg.oktapreview.com/oauth2'. Okta supports application-level authentication using a url like 'https://yourorg.oktapreview.com/oauth2/TH151s50m3L0ngSTr1NG'. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable OPENID_ISSUER will be used instead. | |
openid_scope list / elements=string | Default: ["openid"] | A list of scopes to be included in the access token. Supported scopes for this application are address, email, groups, openid, phone, profile, of which, openid must be one. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable OPENID_SCOPE will be used instead. |
order_by string | Default: "-created_on" | Field to sort the results on. Can prefix with "-" or "+" to change descending or ascending sort order. |
password string | Password for username. Required whether using Basic, OAuth or OpenID authentication. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable SN_PASSWORD will be used instead. | |
query dictionary / required | Dict to query for records. | |
raise_on_empty boolean |
| If set to false, will not cause a SNOW method to raise an exception should it return no records. This is particurlarly useful in snow_record_find, when not sure if any record exists. |
return_fields list / elements=string | Fields of the record to return in the json. By default, all fields will be returned. | |
suppress_pagination_header boolean |
| sysparm_suppress_pagination_header |
table string | Default: "incident" | Table to query for records. |
token string | Bearer token associated with client id and secret. Can be used in place of client id and secret for OpenID authentication. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable SN_TOKEN will be used instead. | |
username string | Name of user for connection to ServiceNow. Required whether using Basic, OAuth or OpenID authentication. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable SN_USERNAME will be used instead. |
