What is ScienceLogic SL1?
The ScienceLogic SL1 platform aims to enable companies to digitally transform themselves by removing the difficulty of managing complex, distributed IT services. SL1 uses patented discovery techniques to find everything in a network, so users get visibility across all technologies and vendors running anywhere in data centers or clouds. The vendor states the advantage of SL1 is that it collects and analyzes millions of data points across an IT universe (made up of infrastructure, network, applications, and business services), to help users make sense of it all, share data, and automate IT processes.
With SL1, the user can:
- See everything across cloud and distributed architectures. Discover all IT components—–across physical, virtual, and cloud. Collect, merge, and store a variety of data in a clean, normalized data lake.

My ScienceLogic Review
It raises callouts and hornbill tickets.
March 16, 2023
Trusted Partner and dependable product
It allows me to integrate with SNOW using powerflow, the RBAs allow to tune out noise and trigger automation
October 12, 2022
So far so good
We are still at the very beginning stage of using ScienceLogic SL1. We are just now setting our focus to look at enhancement and incorporate automated workflows. Outside of a few basic runbook automations, we are not doing a whole lot.
ScienceLogic SL1 has its own automation system that can be used to simplify different tasks such as report generation. There is also an API that can be leveraged if your organization has developers with the skill to utilize it. ScienceLogic SL1 also has official integration with ServiceNow and offers and integration service and supports this functionality, which takes a lot of work out of having to manually graft them together.

Technical opinion
Nowadays, it is not used for automate workflows/processes.

SL1 Shines
Over the course of working with SL1 for the past 10 years, I have been the designer of 3 separate ITSM integrations to SL1 (Twice with ServiceNow, once with SalesForce and once with Solutions360). I have also integrated SL1 as a manager of managers to SolarWinds N-central, PRTG, vRealize OPs, ReliaTel, various AWS resources events from CloudWatch, a custom-built ELK stack app, and various direct email alert formats (Cisco TMS, Poly RPRM, etc.). With all of these apps, the longest development items have been the other vendor APIs and connectivity issues and not SL1. SL1 is very easy to integrate with as a platform and its API is very well documented, easy to reference and manipulate, and the API objects have most of the resources necessary to do anything you want through the API calls.

ScienceLogic SL1 Review
It integrates great with our ticketing software to provide seamless interaction with our clients.

My view on ScienceLogic SL1
We had integrated SL1 with inhouse products which helps to automate workflows / processes
November 30, 2021
Good product!
Processes are quite simple making it easy to work with.
We have plans to integrate ScienceLogic with: ServiceNOW Automatic restart of critical services
ScienceLogic SL1 integrated with Service Now for Incident Management & CMDB to automate events & align with the correct queue group to get the appropriate events to getting mapped with [the] correct resolver group

Just the beginning
This is currently being implemented but goes beyond previous toolsets in terms of CRM automation and efficiency.

SciLo
We use scripting languages to automate some of our processes. By the use of scripting languages, we integrate it with other platforms to automate tasks, schedules, maintenance, etc. It also provide us detailed information of a specific device in a click of a mouse that makes our process more accurate and faster.
May 17, 2021
ScienceLogic SL1's Benefits with the environment
So basically all devices were enrolled to SNOW and connected to ScienceLogic SL1. Once there is an alert or incident it will generate ticket to snow (indicates severity level). IF change or service request we can manually set it to Snow and ScienceLogic SL1 will generate/create a maintenance schedule.

Good tool, not excellent
SicenceLogic SL1 it is not integrated and/or automated to deliver workflows or process across the IT ecosystem. It is being used as a base system, the run book automation or events the tool triggers are used as a source, not the middle of integration or automation, as indicated in the question above.
May 11, 2021
My ScienceLogic Review
We are able to have a single pane of glass using ServiceNow. All monitoring events and CMDB population is managed by ServiceNow. SiLo is a great monitoring system that integrates well with ServiceNow using its integration server, which provides workflow and rules that work with our systems.

Just a try
CMDB integration and real-time device addition helps a lot.

ScienceLogic SL1 review and why you should use it
This is SL1's key strength. SL1 has a great API that enables us to take the data from SL1 and share it with other systems.<br><ol><li>Integration with ITSM case management tool for Incident Management.</li><li>Integration with CMDB asset management database - auto-update the CI's within the CMDB</li><li>The CMDB also includes the dependency mapping that SL1 discovers and updates - this information is key to Change Enablement and RFC (its easier to highlight what's affected by changing a specific CI)</li><li>Event-based automations gather additional information that updates the ITSM tools case, saving engineering effort and leading to reduced MTTR.</li><li>In specific circumstances we can fix the issue using automation, leading us towards 'No Ops'.</li></ol>
Previously we used ScienceLogic to be a trigger point on our automated self-healing pipeline, but we have recently started testing the out of the box features within SL1 to automate system recovery.
It plugs in well/integrates well with other tooling we use which is assisting us to remove the need for manual out of hours escalations for critical monitoring alerts.

ScienceLogic - Enterprise Considerations
We have only a few of our domain teams which have started to look at this.
The vast majority of integration and automation is limited by what SyncSever and our own platform / deployment integrations with ServiceNow for Host Composites, AppMon and AppMon Composites.
The teams doing this work are currently limited to event-to-incident automation, though we are looking forward to our migration to Integration Server.

SL1 - review
At this point, we are still in the progress of integrating with ServiceNow. The process wasn't great as that maturity from SL1 isn't there. We are still looking at making things better with the promises from the SL1 Engineering department. However there is always a starting point for every goal that we want to accomplish.
March 11, 2021
ScienceLogic SL1 Review
Integration with other 3rd-party tools is quite easy and has been achiveable for many vendors. We have integrated ScienceLogic SL1 with tools like moogsoft, BMC BPPM, Spectrum, UIM, and some other in-house tools as well for reporting purposes. This was quite easy to integrate and works as per the requirements of the customer.
March 05, 2021
Solid Monitoring
We have integrated ScienceLogic fairly well with Service-Now. In a quick and dirty sort of way. We use it to populate a CMDB in ServiceNow, as well as ticket creation and resolution with ServiceNow. Ticket enrichment and remediation automation reduce repetitive tasks and overall reduce manual time spent on processes by the NOC.
It generates the case related to the issue automatically and assigns it to the queue of the appropriate team to look into it. Moreover it scans the CMDB for any newly added devices or recommend devices on a regular basis automatically which helps in measuring the performance of all the active device once it is in network, serving the customers. Its email feature is very helpful in having the various reports handy and ready to use.

ScienceLogic is a Logical Choice
These are the benefits we noticed for automating our monitoring through ScienceLogic:
- Improved security and compliance. Automatically record and audit all employee actions within a workflow, safeguard vital data, restrict access and roles of users and alert project owners when any problems arise.
- Centralized documents and access. With manual workflows, there’s no such thing as a centralized document database. However, with a single, unified database, documents, forms, workflow records, and other assets are readily available and never lost.
- Adoption without disruption. Adopting workflow automation allows for seamless integration with existing digital infrastructures and legacy systems. The right tool can stitch everything together and eliminate the need for multiple tracking systems.
- Improved teamwork and morale. A good workflow solution removes barriers to collaboration across teams and departments. By driving efficiencies so a team spends less time on manual tasks and more time on their actual jobs, workflow automation drives productivity, process value, and can actually inspire happier employees.
