Dander ServiceNow Connector

First-party ServiceNow Table API connector plugin for Dander.

Alpha: pin Dander and this plugin exactly. The connector is read-only and supports one stably ordered, full-read incident pipeline. It does not propagate source deletions. Version 0.1.0 is simulator- and live-validated against a disposable ServiceNow tenant.

Install

Declare the exact plugin version in dander.yaml:

plugins:
  servicenow:
    distribution: dander-connector-servicenow
    version: 0.2.0

Then install exactly what the manifest declares:

dander plugins install

Copy servicenow.example.yaml into the project's connectors/ directory, replace INSTANCE, and keep the OAuth client ID and secret in Dander's configured secret store.

Runtime contract

• Engine: servicenow_table
• Authentication: Dander core's oauth2_client_credentials strategy
• API: ServiceNow Table API
• Endpoint: read-only incident
• Publication: Dander's existing SCD1 writer
• Pagination: stable full reads ordered by (sys_updated_on, sys_id) with bounded offset pages
• Memory: each response page is consumed through Dander's generic dlt REST runtime
• Optional reads: exact Aggregate API count and one incident lookup by validated sys_id
• Connection check: authenticated Aggregate API probe that returns no incident records

With Dander 0.5.0 or newer, inspect and check an installed pipeline without running ingestion:

dander connector inspect PIPELINE_ID
dander connector check PIPELINE_ID

The ServiceNow OAuth user must have read access to both the incident Table API and its Aggregate API. Targeted lookups request only the fields declared in the connector schema.

The existing Dander engine: dlt ServiceNow configuration remains a compatibility fallback. An explicitly pinned plugin uses the plugin-owned servicenow_table engine without duplicating the generic REST transport in a system-specific package.
