ElasticNow CLI

This project simplifies timetracking in servicenow for those who find it difficult to navigate.

Usage

Autocomplete

elasticnow --generate [possible values: bash, elvish, fish, powershell, zsh] outputs the autocompletion that can be pushed to proper file for autocomplete.

Authentication

To initialize the repo you will need to run elasticnow setup. This will generate a config.toml. The location is dependent on the operating system but can be found at the top of the help output. After initialization, the id field will automatically update using the browser.

Flag	Description
`--id <ID>`	The ElasticNow ID (retrieved from ElasticNow instance) [env: ELASTICNOW_ID]
`--instance <INSTANCE>`	The ElasticNow instance [env: ELASTICNOW_INSTANCE=]
`--sn-instance <SN_INSTANCE>`	The ServiceNow Instance (e.g. libertydev, liberty) [env: SN_INSTANCE=]
`--sn-username <SN_USERNAME>`	The ServiceNow Username [env: SN_USERNAME=]
`--sn-password <SN_PASSWORD>`	The ServiceNow Password [env: SN_PASSWORD]
`-b, --bin <BIN>`	Override default bin for searching (defaults to user's assigned bin)
`-h, --help`	Print help

Usage: elasticnow setup [OPTIONS] --id <ID> --instance <INSTANCE> --sn-instance <SN_INSTANCE> --sn-username <SN_USERNAME> --sn-password <SN_PASSWORD>

Time Tracking

Time tracking is dependent on the initial setup. You can use the search flag to search for an existing ticket in your bin (override with --bin), or create a new ticket.

When searching, the CLI will return a list for the user to choose from after querying all active tickets in the bin matching the search key words.

Flag	Description
`-n, --new`	Creates a new ticket instead of updating an existing one ( cannot be used with `--search` )
`-a, --all`	Returns all item in the bin instead of searching
`-c, --comment <COMMENT>`	Comment for time tracking
`--time-worked <TIME_WORKED>`	Add time in the format of 1h1m where 1 can be replaced with any number (hours must be less than 24)
`-s, --search <SEARCH>`	Keyword search using ElasticNow (returns all tickets in bin by default)
`-b, --bin <BIN>`	Override default bin for searching (defaults to user's assigned bin or override in config.toml)
`--no-tkt`	Uses timetracking without a ticket
`-h, --help`	Print help

Usage: elasticnow timetrack [OPTIONS] --comment <COMMENT> --time-worked <TIME_WORKED> --search <SEARCH>

Standard Changes

This just uses the ServiceNow API to query STD CHG templates and prompt the user for correct one. Alternatively, provide the sys_id of the template to avoid being prompted.

Options:

Flag	Description
`-s, --search <SEARCH>`	Search for a STD CHG template to create the CHG with
`-b, --bin <BIN>`	Override default assignment group when creating the CHG
`-t, --template-id <TEMPLATE_ID>`	Use a known template ID to skip the prompt
`-h, --help`	Print help

Usage: elasticnow std-chg [OPTIONS]

Report

This gets the user's current time tracking and returns the --top results and total time tracking for the range. The duration flags (--since and --until) default to the current work week. If total is below 32 hours it will return red
