Does anyone know if there is a log or export for the push to service now? We are having an issue with service now processing the model_id (ref). It looks like forward is mapping “model” to both snow’s model_number and model_id. However, it looks like it isn’t being processed on the cmdb side. I just want to see if there is a way to show evidence of the payload forward is sending. Thank you
I’m curious to hear how different teams are using Forward Networks in their day-to-day workflows. Whether it’s for network visibility, change validation, security analysis, or troubleshooting, I’d love to learn what’s working best for you. Which features do you rely on the most? Have you integrated Forward Networks into your change management or automation processes? Any tips or lessons learned that could help others in the community? Looking forward to hearing real-world experiences and best practices from the community.
As part of my onboarding with Forward Networks, I’ve been exploring its native dashboarding capabilities. While the built-in dashboards offer useful insights, I’m not fully convinced they’ll meet the specific reporting needs of our leadership team.To address this, I’m evaluating two integration options:SharePoint: Using the Forward API to retrieve and transform data, then render dashboards tailored to our requirements directly within SharePoint. Grafana Cloud: If SharePoint proves limiting, I’ll explore leveraging our existing Grafana Cloud instance for more flexible visualization.Has anyone integrated Forward with either platform? I’d really appreciate any experiences, suggestions, or recommendations.Below is the format I think supports the SLT teams requirements.Thanks for any feedback.
Forward Enterprise can integrate with ServiceNow in the following ways: Incident Management - Opening or updating a ServiceNow ticket based on an intent verification failure or change:Forward Docs - Create ServiceNow Incidents CMDB Integration - Pushing updates to the CMBD database with data from Forward Enterprise:Forward Docs - CMDB Integration As a Data Connector with NQE - Extracting data from ServiceNow using an NQE query for use in the NQE Library, Inventory+, or a Decorator by configuring ServiceNow as a Data Connector:Forward Docs - Data Connectors From ServiceNow - By using Flow Designer or Business Rules to access the Forward API. Consult ServiceNow documentation and access one of Forward Enterprise’s API endpoints listed here:Forward Docs - API----The first two integration types above are enabled under Settings > Integrations: The following article shows how to use the Forward API to automate workspace network creation, collection, and diff comparison for Change Control

On May 21st we have shown the integration between Forward and NetBox in a joint webinar. UPDATE: The webinar recording is now available on YouTube:https://youtu.be/TSX14uke1NE.The description includes a link to the webinar slides and the GitHub repository. The integration is part of the NetBox’s Network Automation Architecture framework where Forward provides the Observability and Assurance piece, as shown in the picture below:NetBox Network Automation Architecture The first use case is about onboarding an empty NetBox instance with device data collected by Forward, such as Devices, Interfaces, Vendors, Location, and so forth.Onboarding an empty NetBox instanceThe integration is based on a Python script. It imports the data from Forward using NQE queries via REST APIs, transform the data from the Forward to the NetBox schema and then exports it to NetBoxThe process can be automated using a web-hook so that NetBox is updated every time Forward collects from the network.To run the integr
