Connect ServiceNow to ZenSearch

Search across your ServiceNow knowledge base, incidents, change requests, and problems. Resolve tickets faster with AI-powered answers grounded in your ITSM data.

What ZenSearch indexes from ServiceNow

Knowledge Base Search

Index every kb_knowledge article — short description, body, attachments metadata. Surface the right runbook in seconds rather than minutes of clicking through KB categories.

Incidents, Changes & Problems

Optionally ingest incident, change_request, and problem records for full-text search across your ITSM history. Find prior outages, related changes, and root-cause analyses.

Encoded Query Filtering

Use ServiceNow's native encoded-query syntax to control what ZenSearch indexes. Filter by state, priority, category, or any custom field — same syntax as your ServiceNow list views.

Incremental Sync via sys_updated_on

ServiceNow's sys_updated_on watermark drives efficient incremental syncs. Only changed records are re-indexed, cutting sync time and API quota.

Permission-Aware Search

Assignment groups, owners, and openers are synced as permissions. Users only see records they have access to in ServiceNow — no leaking restricted KB articles.

OAuth & Basic Auth

OAuth 2.0 with refresh-token rotation for production, or service-account basic auth for instances without OAuth configured. Credentials stored encrypted at rest.

Up and running in three steps

1
Connect

Authenticate your account and select the resources to index. ZenSearch handles OAuth, API keys, and enterprise SSO.

2
Index

ZenSearch parses, chunks, and vectorizes your content. Incremental sync keeps everything up to date automatically.

3
Search

Your team searches across all connected sources with AI-powered semantic search, chat, and agents.
