Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure services on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements

  • Verify the REST API permissions

    Download the Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet so you can grant user permissions required for running the Discovery patterns. In addition to permissions, the spreadsheet also includes useful information such as pattern names, types, CI Classes, and links to vendor documentation. New patterns are available quarterly, so check periodically to be sure you have the latest version of the spreadsheet.

  • Verify the Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites

    For more information, see the prerequisites section in Microsoft Azure Cloud discovery using patterns.

  • Remove resources from the Resource Inclusion List table

    Verify that the relevant resource isn't listed in the Resource Inclusion List [sa_cloud_inventory_resource_whitelist] table to avoid duplicate discovery. For more information on removing resources from the Resource Inclusion List, see Microsoft Azure resource inventory discovery.

  • Enable the relevant pattern

    The pattern for this service is disabled by default. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating a pattern won't be considered a customization, and it will continue to receive updates. Patterns that were previously activated or deactivated will reset to the latest predefined version after upgrading while retaining the last active field value. For more information on enabling patterns, see Activate a disabled pattern.

  • Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud

    Discovering Azure GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an Azure service account. For more information, see Set up Azure service accounts.

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

Data stored in non-CMDB tables

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Azure - Disk Encryption Set - Extended Inventory(LP) pattern.

You can review the non-CMDB Azure tables by navigating to All > Configuration > Azure. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.

Field Description
Encryption Type [encryption_type] The method used to encrypt the resource data.
Identity type [identity_type] The classification of the identity assigned to the resource. For example: SystemAssigned or UserAssigned.
Key Url [key_url] The URL where the encryption key is stored or accessible.
Location [location] The geographic region where the resource is deployed.
Object Id [object_id] The unique identifier of the resource.
Provisioning State [provisioning_state] The current status of the resource provisioning process.
Resource Group [resource_group] Name of the resource group.
Tenant Id [tenant_id] The identifier for the tenant that owns the resource.
Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] table.

Data stored in CMDB tables

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Azure - Disk Encryption Set - Extended Inventory(LP) pattern.

Field Description
Install Status [install_status] Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed.
Location [location] The geographic region where the resource is deployed.
Name [name] The name of the resource.
Object ID [object_id] The unique identifier of the resource.
Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational.
Resource type [resource_type] Type of resource. The value is set to microsoft.compute/diskencryptionsets.

CI relationships

The pattern creates these relationships to support discovery.

CI Relationship CI
Resource Group [cmdb_ci_resource_group] Contains::Contained by Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]
Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] Hosted on::Hosts Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter]
Azure Disk Encryption Set [cmdb_azure_disk_encryption_set_disk_encryption_set] References Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]

Azure tag discovery

The pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.

Field Description
Key [key] Tag name.
Value [value] Tag value.
