    Install and configure Configuration Compliance

    Before you run Configuration Compliance in your Now Platform® instance, you must first download and install the Configuration Compliance application from the ServiceNow Store. This application is available as a separate subscription.

    Before you begin

    Complete the following setup checklist prior to installation. These setup tasks are required for a smooth installation and configuration.
    Note: This process applies only to applications downloaded to production instances. If you're downloading applications to sub-production or development instances, it's not necessary to get entitlements. Proceed to Activate a ServiceNow Store application.
    Setup tasks Description
    Verify that you have the required ServiceNow roles for your instance. The following roles are required for installation, configuration, and verification of expected results:
    • If not already assigned, the System Administrator [admin] installs the application and assigns the Configuration Compliance Admin [sn_vulc.admin] role.
    • The Configuration Compliance Admin [sn_vulc.admin] oversees configuration and verifies expected results.
    • The Remediation Owner [sn_vulc.remediation_owner] reads and updates assigned records. The sn_vulc.remediation_owner role is also automatically assigned when any user is assigned the itil role.
    Qualys Vulnerability Integration
    If you plan to use the Qualys Vulnerability Integration with Configuration Compliance, verify that the Vulnerability Response application is installed and activated prior to configuring the Qualys Vulnerability Integration using Setup Assistant.

    To verify that they are installed and activated, navigate to Subscription Management > Subscriptions in your instance. The list displays the subscriptions your organization has purchased.

    If the Vulnerability Response application is not installed and activated see, Install and configure Vulnerability Response.

    Note:

    If the Qualys Vulnerability Integration is installed on your system, and your API credentials are different than the ones you want to use for Configuration Compliance, go into Setup Assistant (in Vulnerability Response) and assign them to each Qualys PC integration.

    Navigate to Qualys Vulnerability Integration > Primary Integrations and edit the Qualys API Credentials field under the Qualys REST Details tab.

    For more detailed information on the Qualys Vulnerability Integration, see Understanding the Qualys Vulnerability Integration.
