This section shows you how to synchronize AWS Health events with ServiceNow.
-
In the ServiceNow filter navigator in the fulfiller (stand user interface) view, enter
AWS Service Management Connector. Choose System Properties and then AWS Health.
Configure the SQS name created by the CloudFormation stack. Note that a queue with this name must exist in all Regions defined in any AWS accounts with the AWS Health integration enabled. The default value is AwsServiceManagementConnectorForHealthDashboardQueue.
Note
Unless you change the SQS name in the AWS account, don't change the Amazon SQS name in the ServiceNow scoped app (
AwsServiceManagementConnectorForHealthDashboardQueue).-
Review and modify the following settings as needed:
| Setting | Description | Default value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQS queue name | Name of the queue to fetch messages from. Only change this setting if you change the CloudFormation template that creates the queue. | AwsServiceManagementConnectorForHealthDashboardQueue |
