The Agent will send a heartbeat to MBS every minute in order to report its version and that it is currently alive. Within our system we will then create Alerts if the heartbeat is stale (ie your Agent hasn't reported one soon enough). Using these Alerts and the native ServiceNow Replicator and Observer capabilities you can process and fire notifications. Using these alerts you can also configure your own custom workflows.

These alerts are placed into a queue based on your current Agent name. Your Agent name inputed on installation, and can be found by navigating to the wrapper.conf file and finding the entry for wrapper.name.

If you named your Agent company_agent you will create a Subscribe Queue to psp.out.servicenow.company_agent

By doing so you will pull in the generated Alerts and they will automatically be placed into the Alert table, if you have Observer. These Alerts can be found here:

Using the Observer tools you can easily create a Notification using ServiceNow's native notification system. Click the Error Notification Module:

The email content will be pre-filled with some data. This will contain some basic information for the name of the Agent and type of alert. You can customize this notification to how you want it:

Then you can insert this record, which you can also find in the Notifications table within ServiceNow.
