Whenever a connectivity issue with your ServiceNow instance occurs, an error is logged
in Splunk with information describing the problem.

Error messages are stored in a new index named servicenow with
sourcetype servicenow.

To search for error logs, ensure you are specifying the servicenow index
in your search. Alternatively, refer to the current Splunk documentation on how to add the new
servicenow index to the default search indexes.
