Event Management helps IT organizations reduce noise and focus on top priority issues. It provides connectors that pull or push events from external devices.
The Event Management Connector plugin ingests these events into a ServiceNow instance. Event Management processes the events, deduplicates them, and creates actionable alerts. It performs cross-source correlation and impact analysis to provide the service context for IT alerts.
