Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and ServiceNow

Get the data locked inside ServiceNow into Cloudera Data Platform 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 Change Requests, Problems, Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB) from ServiceNow into tables in Cloudera Data Platform continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Cloudera Data Platform can also be written back into fields in ServiceNow where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Mirror incident and task data into Postgres or a warehouse for SLA and workload reporting
  • Create ServiceNow tickets automatically from CRM cases and sync status back as agents work them
  • Publish CRM or ERP records into CDP so enterprise analytics runs alongside existing data lake workloads.
  • Consolidate tables from on-prem and cloud CDP environments into a single cloud warehouse target.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Cloudera Data Platform 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 Cloudera Data Platform as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

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

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects ServiceNow objects
Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling.
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems.
Impala tables The same metastore tables served through Impala for lower-latency SQL reads. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases.
Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. Users and Groups Sys_user and group tables synced with HR systems and identity providers.
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Tasks The base task table that incidents, changes, and requests extend.

How the Cloudera Data Platform and ServiceNow connectors work

Cloudera Data Platform

Integration surface
JDBC/ODBC over Hive and Impala SQL endpoints, plus REST management APIs
Authentication
Kerberos, LDAP, or workload user credentials, often brokered through the Knox gateway
Change detection
Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns; no consumer-facing change feed
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits

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
