ServiceNow Escalation, criticality, urgency, impact variable

Hi twomonkeysayoyo,

we solved it like this:
- create a custom property value for nodes, interface, groups "priority" with the values "blocking" - "critical" - "
- create the alarms e.g. "node down blocking", "node down critical", "node down moderate" and so on for interface etc ...

The trigger condition for the alarm "node down critical" then sees, for example. as follows:
"
Alert on all objects where:
All child conditions must be satisfied (AND)
Nodes Custom Properties - Priority - is equal to - Critical
The actual trigger condition:
Node - Status - is equal to - Down
"

This alarm then triggers a servicenow ticket with the priority "critical".

At the nodes, interfaces, etc. you then control the priority with which the servicenow tickets should be opened in the event of an error.

I hope I understood your problem correctly and you can do something with my answer. ;)

Kind regards

That means creating an alert and trigger action per alert per severity.  That seems silly.

Yeah, this is something we had to do for others. It is beacuse the way that Service Now creates and defiens the field that forces SolarWinds to only see drop down opptions vs applying a variable to dynamically associate data like other fields are able. Hopefully, this is something ServiceNow can fix, so that you can use variables as a drop down option. and ignore any field data that doesn't match one of the presets.
