ServiceNow GlideAggregate: using arrays to identify duplicate strings: Identify duplicate values in events/alerts

 in this case, we want to identify when a duplicate occurs more than 2 times: (as a create event followed by a clear event is expected) - checking on additional_info.problem_id:


var sQuery = 'sys_created_onONToday@javascript:gs.beginningOfToday()@javascript:gs.endOfToday()'; duplEvents(sQuery); //--uncomment to run on events //duplAlerts(sQuery); //--uncomment to run on alerts function duplEvents(sQuery) { var grEvents = new GlideAggregate('em_event'); grEvents.addQuery('source', 'DYNATRACE'); if (sQuery != "") { grEvents.addQuery(sQuery); } grEvents.query(); var eventArr = []; while (grEvents.next()) { var sAddInfo = JSON.parse(grEvents.additional_info); var sPrbID = sAddInfo.problem_id; //gs.print(grEvents.message_key); //gs.print(sPrbID); eventArr.push(sPrbID + ""); } eventArr.sort(); gs.print("*************DUPLICATE EVENTS ON PROBLEM ID:"); count_duplicate(eventArr); } function duplAlerts(sQuery) { var grEvents = new GlideAggregate('em_alert'); grEvents.addQuery('source', 'DYNATRACE'); if (sQuery != "") { grEvents.addQuery(sQuery); } grEvents.query(); var eventArr = []; while (grEvents.next()) { var sAddInfo = JSON.parse(grEvents.additional_info); var sPrbID = sAddInfo.problem_id; //gs.print(grEvents.message_key); //gs.print(sPrbID); eventArr.push(sPrbID + ""); } eventArr.sort(); gs.print("*************DUPLICATE ALERTS ON PROBLEM ID:"); count_duplicate(eventArr); } function count_duplicate(a) { var counts = {}; for (ic = 0; ic < a.length; ic++) { if (counts[a[ic]]) { counts[a[ic]] += 1; } else { counts[a[ic]] = 1; } } for (prop in counts) { if (counts[prop] > 2) { gs.print(prop + " counted: " + counts[prop] + " times."); } } gs.print(counts); }

ServiceNow timeout settings for virtual agent chat

  After connecting to live agent User is connected to live agent and not responding to live agent chat or distracted. The below properties controls the timeout settings, the OOB settings for reminder is [180 sec] and for cancelling the chat is [360 sec]. The job is default configured to 2 min so I believe no tweaking is required here.  Property -   com.glide.cs.idle_chat_reminder_timeout                  com.glide.cs.idle_chat_cancel_timeout Scheduled job   - Idle Chat Timer Task   https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_article&sys_id=1453b03bdbaad0109e691ea668961929   (ServiceNow ) 

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){...
