Why teams connect ClickHouse and ServiceNow

Get the data locked inside ServiceNow into ClickHouse 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 Tasks, Knowledge Articles, Custom Tables, Incidents from ServiceNow into tables in ClickHouse continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in ClickHouse can also be written back into fields in ServiceNow where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Sync sys_user records with the HR system or identity provider so assignment groups stay accurate
  • Mirror incident and task data into Postgres or a warehouse for SLA and workload reporting
  • Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.
  • Land product event data alongside synced CRM accounts so analysts join usage and revenue in one place.

Where ServiceNow accepts updates: operational write-back

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

History that outlives the tool

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

Analytics on ServiceNow's data

Records and events from ServiceNow land in ClickHouse as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between ClickHouse 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.

ClickHouse objects ServiceNow objects
Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Incidents The core ITSM ticket; commonly synced with engineering trackers and CRMs.
Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling.
Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting.
Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems.
Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases.
Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Users and Groups Sys_user and group tables synced with HR systems and identity providers.

How the ClickHouse and ServiceNow connectors work

ClickHouse

Integration surface
Native TCP protocol and HTTP interface; standard SQL dialect, with MySQL and PostgreSQL wire compatibility available
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password); ClickHouse Cloud issues per-service credentials over TLS
Change detection
No log-based CDC for consumers; incremental reads use polling on monotonic columns, and ClickHouse is usually the destination rather than the source
Capabilities
read · write

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
