Add a service to SRM

Add services to Service Reliability Management (SRM) to help your teams manage service health.

Before you begin

If you’re adding atechnology management service to SRM, make sure it doesn’t have a support group. You assign the support group when you add the service to SRM.

Role required: srm_manager, srm_responder, or srm_admin

About this task

Add a service to SRM to assign it to your teams and let them access its incidents and alerts. You can either create a service or import an existing one. SRM supports both service instances and technology management services:

  • Service instances - Business-facing services, such as an HR portal. Service instances often have multiple infrastructure components.
  • Technology management services - IT-focused services that support a business service or service instance. For example, an authentication service or database service.

When you add a technology management service to SRM, you also add its offerings. Offerings are specific components within a parent technology management service. For example, Spam filtering is an offering within the Email technology management service. In SRM, you can assign a parent technology management service and its offerings to different teams.

Note: When you import an existingtechnology management service, itsofferings don’t inherit its support group. Offerings either keep their existing support group or, if they don’t have one, you must assign it before setting up Service Level Objectives (SLOs).

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Workspaces > Service Operations Workspace.

    You're taken to your SRM Home page.

    Note: If you use other Service Operations Workspace (SOW) applications, you may see the SOW Home page instead of the SRM Home page. The SOW Home page includes SRM alerts and incidents in its metrics.
