Service Mapping Workspace

The Service Mapping workspace provides a central location to streamline the process of mapping your application services. Use the visualizations and reports to analyze, monitor, and update your resources, create application services, and manage your service mapping tasks efficiently.

Access

Navigate to Workspaces > Service Mapping.

Key features and capabilities

  • Machine Learning (ML) readiness

    Confirm that your Machine Learning environment is prepared before you start to map application services.

  • Detailed service maps

    Drill down for detailed information on service maps across various categories.

  • Automated Service Suggestions

    Leverage Automated Service Suggestions to evaluate suggested application service candidates, using them to create application services or enhance existing ones.

  • Improved resource utilization

    Use unmapped servers linked to an application service candidate to create application services.

  • Tag-based service mapping

    Use the Tag-based mapping dashboard to map your organization's configuration items (CIs) into application services.

  • Create a service instance or a unified service

    • Create a service instance to leverage your resources in unmapped services.
    • Create a unified service from various sources. For more information, see: Multi-source service mapping.

Important:

Access to tag-based service mapping in the Service Mapping workspace requires the installation of Service Mapping Plus version 1.16.3. For more information, see Install Service Mapping Plus.

Key metrics

  • Mapped application services

    The number of application services previously mapped. Select to view specific information about these services such as operational status and business criticality.

  • ML-powered candidates

    The number of application service candidates identified using the Automated Service Suggestions feature.

    Note: Starting with Service Mapping Plus version 1.16.3, the filtering process has been updated to include only the most relevant candidates, excluding any ignored or irrelevant ones. This enhancement requires the installation of ITOM Content Service.

  • Mapped servers

    The number of servers currently linked to an application service. Select to view information such as operational status and owner. The Mapped servers tile is replaced with Now Assist metrics, once Now Assist is installed.

  • Maps created by Now Assist

    The number of service maps created by Now Assist Select to view the Service Mapping AI Agent activity. This tile is available only when Now Assist is installed.

  • Business app linked to service instance

    The number of business applications with a CSDM relationship linked to a service instance. Select to view the Business App Map Agent activityThis tile is available only when Now Assist is installed.

Service Mapping AI Agents

When Now Assist is installed, the Service Mapping home page displays the AI Agent activation panel. Use this panel to activate or deactivate AI agents that automate service mapping tasks. For more information, see AI Agents for Service Mapping.

Reports

Select the relevant section of each report to view more detailed information.

Server \[cmdb\_ci\_server\] Service Configuration Item Association \[svc\_ci\_assoc\] Application service candidate \[sa\_ml\_application\_service\_candidate\]

A bar report that presents unmapped servers that have been matched to an application service candidate as well as those servers with no candidate.

Select Unmapped servers with candidate to view servers you can map to an application service. For more information, see Create an application service for unmapped servers.

Server \[cmdb\_ci\_server\] Service Configuration Item Association \[svc\_ci\_assoc\] Application service candidate \[sa\_ml\_application\_service\_candidate\]

A bar report that presents the number of unmapped servers, divided into two categories:

  • Unmapped servers with candidate - servers that have been matched to an application service candidate.
  • Unmapped servers without relevant candidate - servers that have no candidate.

Note: Starting with Service Mapping Plus version 1.16.3, the filtering process has been updated to include only the most relevant candidates, excluding any ignored or irrelevant ones. This enhancement requires the installation of ITOM Content Service.

Additional components
