Azure Service Bus Topic pattern-based discovery

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 - Service Bus 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
Enable Batched Operations [enable_batched_operations]	Indicates whether batched operations are enabled for the topic.
Enable Partitioning [enable_partitioning]	Specifies if the topic is partitioned to support scalability.
DC Location [location]	The geographical region where the topic is deployed.
Max Message Size In KB [max_message_size_in_kb]	The maximum size of any message that can be sent to the topic, measured in kilobytes (KB).
Max Size In MB [max_size_in_mb]	The maximum storage limit for the topic in megabytes (MB).
Object Id [object_id]	The unique identifier for the topic resource.
Status [status]	The status of the topic resource. For example: Active or Disabled.
Subscription Count [subscription_count]	The number of active subscriptions associated with the topic.
Resource Group [resource_group]	Name of the resource group.
Subscription ID [subscription_id]	The subscription ID.
Configuration Item [configuration_item]	References the Cloud Topic [cmdb_ci_cloud_topic] table.

Data stored in CMDB tables

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Azure - Service Bus 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 topic is deployed.
Name [name]	The name of the topic within the Service Bus namespace.
Object ID [object_id]	The unique identifier of the resource in the following format: /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/{namespaceName}/topics/{topicName}
Operational status [operational_status]	Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational.
Description [short_description]	Description of the resource or service.

CI relationships

The pattern creates these relationships to support discovery.

CI	Relationship	CI
Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]	Contains::Contained by	Cloud Topic [cmdb_ci_cloud_topic]
Resource Group [cmdb_ci_resource_group]	Contains::Contained by	Cloud Topic [cmdb_ci_cloud_topic]
Cloud Topic [cmdb_ci_cloud_topic]	Hosted on::Hosts	Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter]
