ServiceNow: retrieve a JSON Array element by its KEY value

 in this example, we wish to retrieve the blue highlighted key value from the JSON array tagsOfAffectedEntities:

{
  "ProblemDetailsJSON" : {
    "id" : "xxxx",
    "startTime" : 1652690280000,
    "endTime" : 1652690280000,
    "displayName" : "yyyy",
    "impactLevel" : "INFRASTRUCTURE",
    "status" : "CLOSED",
    "severityLevel" : "RESOURCE_CONTENTION",
    "commentCount" : 3,
    "tagsOfAffectedEntities" : [ {
      "context" : "CONTEXTLESS",
      "key" : "Application"
    }, {
      "context" : "CONTEXTLESS",
      "key" : "SZCOFF",
      "value" : "SZCOFF12345"
    }, {
      "context" : "CONTEXTLESS",
      "key" : "K8s container xxx",
      "value" : "xxxx"
    }, {
      "context" : "CONTEXTLESS",
      "key" : "[Kubernetes]namespace",
      "value" : "xxx"
    }, {
      "context" : "CONTEXTLESS",
      "key" : "Environment",
      "value" : "xxx"
    }, {
      "context" : "CONTEXTLESS",
      "key" : "NS",
      "value" : "xxx"
    }, {
      "context" : "CONTEXTLESS",
      "key" : "Tier"
    }, {
      "context" : "CONTEXTLESS",
      "key" : "Department",
      "value" : "xxx"
    } ],
  "ProblemID" : "xxx",
  "ProblemImpact" : "xxx",
  "ProblemSeverity" : "xxx",
  "ProblemTitle" : "xxx",
  "ProblemURL" : "https://xxxx.live.dynatrace.com/#problems/problemdetails;pid=-xxx",
  "State" : "RESOLVED",
  "Tags" : "xxx",
  "correlation_id" : "xxx",
  "name" : "xxx"
}

 

use this script:

var sPayload=JSON.parse (< above_payload>); //(assume it's stored in a ServiceNow table field such as em_alert.additional_info) 

example:

var grAlert=new GlideRecord('em_alert');
if (grAlert.get('number', 'Alert0017xxx')){

 
var sPayload=JSON.parse (grAlert.additional_info);

   var svc=_getSvcoffNumber(sPayload);

gs.print(svc);


function _getSvcoffNumber(additionalInfo) {
        
       
        var sReturn = '';
        try {
            var tagsOfAffectedEntities = additionalInfo.ProblemDetailsJSON.tagsOfAffectedEntities;
            sReturn=_extractTags(tagsOfAffectedEntities, "SZCOFF");
             
        } catch (ex) {
            
        }
        return sReturn;
    }

function  extractTags (pTagObject, pTag) {
        
        var vTag;
        try {
            for (i = 0; i < pTagObject.length; i++) {
                if (pTagObject[i]['key'] == pTag) {
                    vTag = pTagObject[i]['value'].toString();
                }
            }
        } catch (ex) {
           
        }
        return vTag;
    }

 ---OUTPUT:

*** Script: SZCOFF12345

 (ServiceNow )

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){...

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep / gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)  e.g. 10 seconds: do_sleep ( 10000 ); function do_sleep ( milliseconds ) { var start = new Date (). getTime (); for ( var i = 0 ; i < 1e7 ; i ++) { if (( new Date (). getTime () - start ) > milliseconds ){ gs . print ( 'waking up!' ); break ; } } }
