COMMUNITY | MORE SITES | ServiceNow ServiceNow ServiceWatch Discover, Map and Monitor Business Services Application Summary ServiceNow ServiceWatch has an innovative, “top-down” approach to discovering and mapping the relationships between IT components that comprise specific business services, even in dynamic, virtualized environments. Dashboards provide insights into the health of business services in real time, correlate service issues with infrastructure events, and contain metrics that alert based on business impact. ServiceWatch uses component-specific monitoring data from third-party systems to correlate incidents to impacted business services. Benefits to Enterprise IT Without an accurate understanding of the service topology, IT cannot determine which business services are affected by component-specific changes, failures or performance issues. Manually mapping services is time-consuming and prone to error. It can take up to two weeks per service, and has to be updated every time there is a change – something that happens frequently in dynamic, virtualized environments.
