I’m trying to gather change record information from ServiceNow. Specifically I would like to query against a hostname and find if that server has change ticket open. I came across both of these modules for Ansible. I have had little success getting them to function properly. I’m hoping my syntax is bad or I’m doing something dumb. Here are my playbooks.

```auto
   - hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  ignore_errors: True
  tasks:
  - name: Grab a user record
    snow_record:
      username: testuser
      password: somepass
      instance: myinstance
      state: present
      number: CHG9999
      table: change_request
      lookup_field: cmdb_ci.name=someservername

```

For snow\_record\_find:

```auto
- hosts: mytest
  tasks:
  - name: Grab a user record
    snow_record_find:
      username: testuser
      password: somepass
      instance: someinstance
      #state: present
      #number: null??
      table: change_request
      query:
        AND:
          equals:
            active: "True"
            type: "standard"
            u_change_stage: "80"
          contains:
            u_template: "MY-Template"

```

There does not seem to be many examples or documents on how to use these modules. I’m open to using something different as long as it can be done via bash, Python, Ansible or some other command line utility that runs on Linux. Also I grabbed the snow\_record\_find module from [https://github.com/garbled1/ansible\_modules](https://github.com/garbled1/ansible_modules) If you want to try it yourself.

Error output for snow\_record:

Do you have ADFS in between? This module can’t handle ADFS.

hello Gauthreaux,

Does your problem has been resolved?

Can you help me to find service\_request(ritm) variables using snow\_record\_find module.

Regards,  
GG
