ServiceNow ruby gem End-of-Life announcement
As of June 4, 2019, Rapid7 will start the End of Life (EOL) process for the legacy ServiceNow Ruby Gem integration for Nexpose. The ServiceNow Ruby Gem will no longer be publicly available for download on the rubygems.org page. This EOL announcement does not affect the in-product integration for InsightVM subscribers, ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM), or the recently released ServiceNow app that leverages the ServiceNow VRM (Vulnerability Response Module) product, a component of ServiceNow Security Operations (SecOps).
This EOL announcement only pertains to future deployments or feature requests related to ServiceNow Ruby Gem.
Customers that currently have the Ruby Gem integration will not see changes in functionality, but Rapid7 encourages that Nexpose subscribers upgrade to InsightVM in order to take advantage of one of the solutions listed below:
- ServiceNow ITSM Integration
- Service Now SecOps Integration
