  • Accelerate the event processing testing life cycle by forwarding a stream of events from your ServiceNow production environment to your non-production environment.

    Use event forwarding to forward events from one instance to another, for example, from a production to a non-production instance. Event forwarding enables you to test and evaluate event rules, event field mappings, alert management rules, alert correlation, and so on, without having any impact on your production environment.

    Not all monitoring sources can send events to multiple target instances. In such cases, you can configure a scheduled job to periodically forward the event stream from your ServiceNow instance that is connected to the monitored source to other instances.

    The following table displays the event forwarding performance benchmark report.
    Number of target instances Events/minute Events/second
    1 12000 200
    5 2500 41
    10 1500 25
