Install the Health Log Analytics application on your ServiceNow instance.
1. On your instance, navigate to System Applications > All Available Applications > All.
2. Find the Health Log Analytics application using the search bar.
3. On the Health Log Analytics tile, select Install.
  
  When the application is successfully installed on the instance, an automatic change request (CHG) is triggered to request provisioning for the necessary endpoints. The instance admin receives the request and any relevant notifications.
  
  Note: Even when the Health Log Analytics application is installed successfully, it will not work until the endpoints have been provisioned. Provisioning endpoints configures your source systems to collect and send their log data to your ServiceNow instance. Health Log Analytics depends on this ingested data to detect anomalies, correlate events, and generate alerts.
4. On the Installed tab, verify that the application and its dependencies were installed successfully.
