Pull in data from Datadog into your Configuration Management Database (CMDB).

## Vorbereitungen

To use this Service Graph Connector, you need a subscription to a Subscription Unit that is based in the IT Operations Management (ITOM) Visibility application or in the ITOM Discovery application. As defined in the section titled "Managed IT Resource Types" in [ServiceNow Subscription Unit Overview](https://www.servicenow.com/products/entitlements-packages.html) for your subscription, for managed IT resources that are created or modified in the CMDB by this Service Graph Connector, but that aren't yet managed by [ITOM Visibility or ITOM Discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=itom-license-module&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US), these resources will increase Subscription Unit consumption from that application. Review your current Subscription Unit consumption within ITOM
Visibility or ITOM Discovery to ensure available capacity.  
Dependencies and requirements:

* The [Integration Commons for CMDB](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/5PeLd~t3E_8m4pfHwXaYIA "The Integration Commons for CMDB application contains the CMDB Integrations Dashboard and a set of Robust Transform Engine (RTE) transforms and script includes.") store app, which is automatically installed.
* The CMDB CI class models store app, which is automatically installed. See [CMDB CI Class Models app](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/VzkxeWzQzhMzcJt3LjhdlA "The CMDB contains base-system classes that store data about configuration items (CIs). The CMDB CI Class Models ServiceNow Store app adds class models that extend the CMDB class hierarchy, including class descriptions, identification rules, identifier entries, and dependent relationships if applicable.").
* The ITOM Discovery License plugin (com.snc.itom.discovery.license). You must activate this plugin.
* ITOM Licensing plugin (com.snc.itom.license). For more information, see [Request Discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ActivateTheDiscoveryPlugin&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US).
* The Datastream Action plugin (com.glide.hub.action_type.datastream), which is automatically installed.
* Observability Commons for CMDB (sn_observability), which is only required for event ingestion. This must be installed prior to installing the connector for Event Management to work. For more information, see [Observability Commons for CMDB](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/application/97e04562072020107add6a77c4a9351a) on the ServiceNow Store.
