Activate the cloud-related CI relationships

To include discovered components into service instances, enable CI relationships used in tag-based discovery by Service Mapping. These CI relationships are available from the 1.0.68 release on the ServiceNow Store. For operational steps, see Tag-based discovery configuration.

Azure Availability Set

Wait for the Clean-Up job for Availability zone to clear availability set record schedule job to delete all the pre-populated availability set's Configuration Items (CI) in the cmdb_ci_azure_availability_set table.

Azure Availability Zone

To run a discovery with Azure Availability Zone, register the subscription ID to the AvailabilityZonePeering feature with AZ CLI using az feature register -n AvailabilityZonePeering --namespace Microsoft.Resources to use the Check Zone Peering API. Check the status with az feature show -n AvailabilityZonePeering --namespace Microsoft.Resources before running discovery.

Set up Azure service accounts

Enable Cloud Discovery to access your Azure environment. For more information, see Set up Azure service accounts.

Create an Azure cloud discovery schedule

For more information, see Create an Azure Discovery schedule in Discovery Admin Workspace.

(Optional) Discover datacenters only for new subscriptions

Starting with Zurich Patch 2, you can discover datacenters only for new subscriptions added since the last discovery. For more information, see Discover datacenters only for new cloud accounts.

(Optional) Populate Service Account and Logical Datacenter fields in cloud CIs

Starting with Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns version 1.30.2, you can improve query performance by populating Service Account and Logical Datacenter fields directly in cloud CIs. For more information, see Improved query performance with direct field population in CI tables.

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.

Azure resources discovery by datacenters

Azure has multiple datacenters around the world, but resources like load balancers and virtual machines are typically deployed in only some of them. The Azure Datacenter Discovery pattern executes before all other Azure patterns to identify the datacenters that have resources related to your service account ("active") and the datacenters that don't have your resources ("passive"). This model improves the performance of the Azure discovery. This execution model is more efficient than the previous one, in which all datacenters were discovered regardless of having relevant resources in them.

After identifying the "active" and "passive" datacenters, the Discovery schedule continues to execute all Azure patterns only for the "active" datacenters, to discover your Azure cloud resources. The "passive" datacenters are ignored while running the schedule.

You might notice differences in Azure discovery log, in discovery time and in the CMDB, depending on the service account and MID Server property settings.

Datacenters that have already been discovered before the upgrade to Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns version 1.15.0, remain in the Azure Datacenters table. However, the discovery runtime behavior is now determined by the value of the MID Server property mid.cloud.discovery.sonar.discover_all_azure_datacenters. The property is set to false by default, to limit the discovery execution to the "active" datacenters, rather than all datacenters. You can discover all datacenters for a service account, including "passive" ones, by setting the property to true. For more information, see: Create a MID Server property.

If the MID Server property is set to false, the Azure Datacenters table shows only active datacenters. All other behaviors remain unchanged from previous Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns versions.

For management groups, Azure Cloud Discovery discovers all Azure datacenters.

Starting with Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns version 1.29.0, the Refresh Datacenters flow displays all regions, not just active ones. You don’t need to create another schedule when a resource is added or a datacenter switches from passive to active.

Azure Hardware Type discovery

Azure SQL Managed Instance license discovery

The Azure DataBase (LP) pattern extension Azure SQL Managed Instance license discovers Azure SQL Managed Instance license information and populates the license type in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table of Cloud Database CI [cmdb_ci_cloud_database].

Events discovered by Discovery during horizontal discovery

Discovery uses patterns to find events created for Microsoft Azure components. If there are events that indicate the change of state in one of the Microsoft Azure components, it triggers the discovery of Microsoft Azure components using the patterns.

Tag information collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery

When running the patterns, tag information is collected to populate the cmdb_key_value table.​ Each tag is related to a CI that was discovered during the discovery.​ Tag discovery is done in the extension section of each pattern.
