    Service Metrics

    The Application dashboard presents essential performance metrics for the selected service:

    • Response Time: Service response time in milliseconds over time, sourced from LogicMonitor.
    • Status: Service status indicator, where 1 means the service is up and 2 means it is down, sourced from LogicMonitor.

    Note that customized dashboards might differ from the default views.

    Host Metrics

    The Compute dashboard provides key metrics for hosts related to the service, enabling monitoring of resource utilization and network activity:

    • CPU Busy %: Percentage of CPU active time processing tasks.
    • Memory Usage: Percentage of memory utilization on the host.
    • CPU Utilization: Overall CPU load and usage patterns over time.
    • Network RX/TX: Bytes received and transmitted by the host over the network.

    All active servers supporting the service are listed, with links to detailed host information sourced from the CMDB.

    Database Metrics

    Separate dashboards display metrics for databases related to the service, including MySQL and PostgreSQL instances:

    • Response Time: Database response times in milliseconds.
    • CPU Busy %: Percentage of database processing power consumed.
    • Memory Used %: Memory utilization percentage by the database.
    • Status: Database status, where 1 indicates up and 2 indicates down.

    Additional PostgreSQL-specific metrics include the number of busy servers and maximum available servers over time.

    All active database instances are listed with links to detailed information, integrating data from LogicMonitor and the ServiceNow CMDB.

    Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

    This integration allows you to quickly assess service performance, host resource usage, and database health directly within ServiceNow. It supports proactive monitoring and troubleshooting by providing timely and detailed operational metrics sourced from LogicMonitor combined with CMDB context, helping you maintain service reliability and optimize infrastructure utilization.
