Monitoring tools collect data on various metrics and generate alerts or notifications when issues or abnormalities are detected. Event management processes help to prioritize and respond to these alerts effectively.

Incident Management:

Incident management is a core component of ITOM that involves identifying, categorizing, prioritizing, and resolving incidents that disrupt IT services. ITOM tools often integrate with service desk systems to streamline the incident management process and ensure timely resolution of issues.

Discovery:

ServiceNow Discovery is a feature of the ServiceNow platform designed to help organizations gain visibility into their IT infrastructure and services. It automates discovering and mapping IT assets, applications, and dependencies, providing a comprehensive view of the IT environment.

Health Log Analytics:

ServiceNow Health Log Analytics is a feature within the ServiceNow platform that focuses on analysing log data to identify potential issues or anomalies within an organization's IT environment.

Configuration Management:

Configuration management involves maintaining accurate and up-to-date information about the configuration of IT assets, including hardware, software, and infrastructure components. ITOM tools provide capabilities for configuration discovery, tracking, and reporting to ensure that IT assets are properly managed and controlled.

Capacity Management:

Capacity management ensure that IT infrastructure and resources are adequately sized to meet current and future demand for IT services. ITOM tools help organizations monitor resource utilization, forecast future demand, and optimize resource allocation to ensure optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.

IT Automation:

ITOM tools often include automation capabilities that help streamline routine tasks, such as provisioning and configuring IT resources, deploying software updates, and remedying common issues. Automation helps improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, and minimize the risk of human error.

Service Dependency Mapping:

ITOM tools provide capabilities for mapping the dependencies between IT services, applications, and infrastructure components. Service dependency mapping helps organizations understand the impact of changes or failures on IT services and prioritize response efforts accordingly.
