Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds GCP BigQuery datasets and tables 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 GCP discovery prerequisites section in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud discovery using Patterns.

| State [state] | State of the dataset. |
| Fully qualified domain name [fqdn] | Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for accessing the dataset. |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name [name] | Name of the public BigQuery dataset. |
| Object ID [object_id] | The fully qualified unique identifier of the dataset in the format projectId:datasetId. |
| Vendor [vendor] | Cloud vendor. Value is set to GCP. |
| Install Status [install_status] | Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed. |
| Operational status [operational_status] | Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational. |
| State [state] | State of the public dataset. |
| Fully qualified domain name [fqdn] | FQDN for accessing the public dataset. |
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name [name] | Name of the BigQuery table. |
| Type [type] | Database type. Value is set to bigquery. |
| Install Status [install_status] | Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed. |
CI relationships
The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - BigQuery DB pattern creates these relationships to support GCP BigQuery discovery.
| CI | Relationship | CI |
|---|---|---|
| Google Datacenter [cmdb_ci_google_datacenter] | Hosted on::Hosts | Cloud Service Account [cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account] |
| Google Datacenter [cmdb_ci_google_datacenter] | Contains::Contained by | Availability Zone [cmdb_ci_availability_zone] |
| Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] | Hosted on::Hosts | Cloud Service Account [cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account] |

| Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] | Contains::Contained by | Database [cmdb_ci_database] |
| Key Value [cmdb_key_value] | References | Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] |
GCP Tag discovery
The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - BigQuery DB pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Key [key] | Tag name. |
| Value [value] | Tag value. |
| Configuration item [configuration_item] | References the Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] table. |
