Why teams connect Apache Druid and ServiceNow

Get the data locked inside ServiceNow into Apache Druid as live tables, and send results back where ServiceNow can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever ServiceNow is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB), Users and Groups, Tasks from ServiceNow into tables in Apache Druid continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Apache Druid can also be written back into fields in ServiceNow where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Keep CMDB configuration items aligned with asset inventories and cloud resource databases
  • Sync sys_user records with the HR system or identity provider so assignment groups stay accurate
  • Query aggregated event metrics from Druid and sync them into CRM account fields for usage-based selling.
  • Feed operational records into Druid via batch ingestion so analysts get interactive slice-and-dice on fresh data.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine ServiceNow's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where ServiceNow accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Apache Druid sync back onto records in ServiceNow, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Apache Druid preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of ServiceNow or gets changed inside it.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and ServiceNow

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Apache Druid objects ServiceNow objects
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Incidents The core ITSM ticket; commonly synced with engineering trackers and CRMs.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling.
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting.
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems.
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases.
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Users and Groups Sys_user and group tables synced with HR systems and identity providers.

How the Apache Druid and ServiceNow connectors work

Apache Druid

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP and native JSON queries); JDBC via Avatica
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: basic authentication or an authenticator extension; often fronted by a proxy
Change detection
Not applicable for reads out (polling by time interval); data enters Druid through streaming or batch ingestion rather than row updates
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity

ServiceNow

Integration surface
REST API (Table, Import Set, and Aggregate APIs); SOAP remains for legacy integrations
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 or basic authentication against the instance
Change detection
Polling on sys_updated_on timestamps; instance admins can configure outbound push through business rules or Flow Designer
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to instance-level API rate limits and concurrency semaphores configured by administrators
