    Spoke actions

    The Microsoft Azure Resource Management spoke provides actions to automate the resource management tasks when events occur in the ServiceNow instance. Available actions include:
    Category Action Description
    Metadata Retrieval Look up Databases Retrieves a list of databases in a server.
    Look up Elastic Pools Retrieves a list of elastic pools in Microsoft Azure.
    Look up Locations Retrieves a list of locations.
    Look up Operational Status of Resource Returns the operational status of the resource (virtual machine, network, disk, and so on) that is created or updated.
    Look up Resource Groups Retrieves a list of resource groups.
    Look up SQL Servers Retrieves a list of servers in a resource group.

    Connection and credential alias requirements

    Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.
