How to Configure the ServiceNow Connector Using Web.config

The web.config file is found at the root level of every BA Insight connector's installation directory.

CAUTION! The file web.config contains settings that are not commonly changed. Make changes to this file with caution.

Inactive Incidents

The ServiceNow connector can crawl inactive incidents.

To activate this option, set the "CrawlInactiveIncidents" value in the file web.config to true:

<add key="CrawlInactiveIncidents" value="true" />
