Creating Notification Policies

You can configure notification policies in Junos Space Service Now to specify when Service Now should send notifications about events occurring on devices in a managed network and the recipients of the notifications. Triggers define instances when a notification should be sent for events. For example, if ’Incident Submitted’ notification policy is configured, Service Now sends a notification to recipients whenever an incident is submitted to JSS.

You can further refine the trigger by applying a filter so that notifications are sent only for specific organization, device group, and devices. For example, you can apply a filter to the Incident Submitted trigger so that Service Now sends notifications only when critical incidents from a specific organization are submitted to Juniper Support System (JSS).

You can define the following triggers for notifications to be sent in Service Now:

• New Incident Detected: Notification is sent when a new incident is created in Service Now.
• Incident Submitted: Notification is sent when an incident is submitted to JSS.
• Case ID Assigned: Notification is sent when a case is created for the incident and a case ID is assigned to the case.
• Case Status Updated: Notification is sent when the status of the case is updated.
• New intelligence Update: Notification is sent when a device snapshot is received by Service Now.
• Service Contract Expiring: Notification is sent when the service contract for a device is nearing expiry.
• New Exposure: Notification is sent when a proactive bug notification (PBN) is received from JSS.
• Ship-to Address Missing for Device: Notification is sent when an RMA incident is submitted to JSS with no ship-to address for a device.
• Connected Member Device Added/Removed: Notification is sent when an end customer adds or deletes devices from Service Now organization
