    Summary of Azure Logic App pattern-based discovery

    The Azure Logic App pattern-based discovery, part of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application, enables ServiceNow customers to automatically discover Azure Logic Apps within their cloud environment. It populates both CMDB and non-CMDB tables with detailed information about these resources, supporting enhanced visibility and management of Azure Logic Apps.

    Key Features

    • Pattern Activation: The Azure Logic App discovery pattern is disabled by default. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating patterns is streamlined and updates are retained after upgrades without being treated as customizations.
    • Discovery Prerequisites: Customers must verify Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites and configure Azure service accounts properly, especially when discovering Azure GovCloud (US) accounts, which require specific datacenter URLs.
    • Data Population:
      • Non-CMDB Tables: Data collected by the Azure - Logic App - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern is stored in non-CMDB tables accessible under Configuration > Azure. Key fields captured include access endpoint, identity, kind, location, resource group, provisioning state, subscription and tenant IDs, and operational state.
      • CMDB Tables: Logic App data is also stored in the Cloud Function [cmdbcicloudfunction] CMDB table, with fields such as install status, location, name, object ID, and operational status providing comprehensive resource details.
    • CI Relationships: The discovery pattern establishes relationships between configuration items (CIs), including resource groups, cloud functions, and Azure datacenters, enabling a clear dependency and hosting structure.
    • Azure Tag Discovery: Tags associated with Azure Logic Apps are collected and stored in the Key Value [cmdbkeyvalue] table, facilitating categorization and filtering based on tag metadata.

    Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

    • Automates the discovery and population of Azure Logic App information into your CMDB and related tables, ensuring accurate and up-to-date asset management.
    • Supports compliance and operational awareness by capturing detailed resource states, identities, and provisioning information.
    • Enables comprehensive service mapping through CI relationships, improving impact analysis and change management.
    • Facilitates better governance and reporting by integrating Azure tag data within ServiceNow.

    Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure services on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources may 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 Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites
    For more information, see the prerequisites section in Microsoft Azure Cloud components discovery using patterns.
    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 - Logic App - 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.

    Table 1. Azure Logic App [cmdb_azure_logic_app_logic_app]
    Field Description
    Access Endpoint [access_endpoint] The endpoint URL used for accessing the resource.
    Identity [identity] The identity associated with the resource for access and security purposes.
    Kind [kind] The specific subcategory or variant of the resource.
    Location [location] The geographical region where the resource is deployed.
    Object Id [object_id] The unique identifier of the resource.
    Provisioning State [provisioning_state] The current provisioning state of the resource.
    Resource Group [resource_group] Name of the resource group.
    State [state] The overall current operational state of the resource.
    Subscription Id [subscription_id] The subscription ID.
    Tenant Id [tenant_id] The identifier of the tenant that owns the resource.
    Type [type] The type or category of the resource.
    Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud Function [cmdb_ci_cloud_function] table.

    Data stored in CMDB tables

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

    Table 2. Cloud Function [cmdb_ci_cloud_function]
    Field Description
    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed.
    Location [location] The geographical region where the resource is deployed.
    Name [name] The name assigned to the resource.
    Object ID [object_id] The unique identifier of the resource in the following format: /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resouceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.logic/workflows/{workflowName}.
    Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational.

    CI relationships

    The pattern creates these relationships to support discovery.

    CI Relationship CI
    Resource Group [cmdb_ci_resource_group] Contains::Contained by Cloud Function [cmdb_ci_cloud_function]
    Cloud Function [cmdb_ci_cloud_function] Hosted on::Hosts Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter]
    Azure Logic App [cmdb_azure_logic_app_logic_app] References Cloud Function [cmdb_ci_cloud_function]

    Azure tag discovery

    The pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.
    Table 3. Key Value [cmdb_key_value]
    Field Description
    Key [key] Tag name.
    Value [value] Tag value.
