Azure Event Grid System Topic discovery with Patterns
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 - Event Grid System Topic - 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 |
|---|---|
| Kind [kind] | The specific kind or stock keeping unit (SKU) of the resource, detailing its capabilities or configuration. |
| Metric Resource Id [metric_resource_id] | The identifier used for accessing metrics related to the resource. |
| Object Id [object_id] | The unique identifier of the resource within Azure. |
| Provisioning State [provisioning_state] | The current status of the resource's provisioning process. |
| Resource Group [resource_group] | Name of the resource group. |
| Subscription Id [subscription_id] | The subscription ID. |
| Tenant Id [tenant_id] | The unique identifier for the Azure Active Directory tenant. |
| Topic Type [topic_type] | The category or type of the event topic. |
| Configuration Item [configuration_item] | References the Cloud Messaging Service [cmdb_ci_cloud_messaging_service] table. |
Data stored in CMDB tables
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Azure - Event Grid System Topic - Extended Inventory(LP) pattern.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Install Status [install_status] | Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed. |
| Location [location] | The geographical region where the resource is hosted. |
| Name [name] | The name of the resource. |
| Object ID [object_id] | The unique identifier of the resource within Azure. |
| Operational status [operational_status] | Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational. |
| Type [type] | Type of resource. The value is set to microsoft.eventgrid/systemtopics. |
CI relationships
The pattern creates these relationships to support discovery.
| CI | Relationship | CI |

| Cloud Messaging Service [cmdb_ci_cloud_messaging_service] | Hosted on::Hosts | Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter] |
| Azure Event Grid - System Topic [cmdb_azure_event_grid_system_topic] | References | Cloud Messaging Service [cmdb_ci_cloud_messaging_service] |
