Quick and dirty way 

Info

  1. Copy the notification plugin to the local directory

    Code Block
    OMD[at]:~$ cp ~/lib/python3/cmk/cee/notification_plugins/servicenow.py ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/


  2. make the script executable

    Code Block
    OMD[at]:~/local/share/check_mk/notifications$ chmod +x ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/servicenow.py


  3. Inside the script, you need to change:

    1. The 3rd line to a name of your script. This name will be displayed in the Notification rules

      Code Block
      3 # Notification script name
4 # Bulk: no


    2. at the end of the notification script, we need to add:

      Code Block
      print("outside: about to check for __main__ == %s" % __name__)
if __name__ == "__main__":
     print("outside: about to call main()")    
     sys.exit(main())

from cmk.cee.notifications_custom import servicenow 



 Note
Per default, all notifications notification scripts are inside ~inside ~/lib/python3/cmk/notification_plugins/.
As servicenow ServiceNow is only available with the enterprise edition, you will find the script here:  ~~/lib/python3/cmk/cee/notification_plugins/
