Configure a single queue for Cloud-based and IP-based events
Configure Cloud-based and IP-based events to share a single queue, which helps reduce the impact of Discovery on app nodes.
Before you begin
Confirm the following:
- Discovery Admin Workspace is using version 1.9.0 or later.
- ServiceNow AI Platform® is using XP9, YP4, or later than YP4.
- The discovery.use.event.processing system property is turned on. For more information, see Configure Discovery to use Event Framework.
Role required: discovery_admin
About this task
When using a single queue, Cloud Discovery jobs frequently have higher priority than IP-based Discovery jobs. Separating Cloud-based and IP-based job queues helps avoid interference between Discovery types. However, balancing Discovery throughput and instance impact involves trade-offs.
| Separate queues | Single queue |
|---|---|
| More worker threads, which means more database activity | Fewer worker threads, which means less database activity |
| More impact on jobs unrelated to Discovery | Less impact on jobs unrelated to Discovery |
| Cloud Discovery doesn't impact IP Discovery | Cloud Discovery can preempt IP Discovery |
Procedure
Navigate to All > System Properties > All Properties.
In the System Properties [sys_properties] table, select the discovery.event.separate.cloud.events property.
Set the Value field to false.
Select Update.
