    Summary of Azure Databricks Workspace pattern-based discovery

    The Azure Databricks Workspace pattern-based discovery leverages the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application to identify and map Azure Databricks Workspace resources within your cloud environment. This pattern collects detailed information about Databricks workspaces, populating both CMDB and non-CMDB tables to provide a comprehensive view of your Azure resources.

    Key Features

    • Pattern Activation: The Azure Databricks Workspace discovery pattern is disabled by default. Enabling it in Visibility Content version 6.28.0 or later allows regular updates without being treated as a customization.
    • Azure GovCloud Support: Discovery supports Azure GovCloud (US) accounts by requiring a datacenter URL when configuring Azure service accounts.
    • Data Population:
      • Non-CMDB Tables: The pattern populates detailed Azure-specific data such as kind, location, provisioning state, SKU, and networking settings in non-CMDB tables (e.g., cmdbazuredatabricksworkspace).
      • CMDB Tables: Core resource information including install status, operational status, resource type, and identifiers is stored in CMDB tables (e.g., cmdbcicmpresource).
      • Tag Collection: Azure resource tags are collected and stored in the cmdbkeyvalue table to support asset classification and management.
    • CI Relationships: The discovery pattern automatically establishes relationships between Databricks workspaces, resource groups, Azure datacenters, and cloud resources, enabling accurate dependency mapping and service modeling.

    Practical Considerations for ServiceNow Customers

    • Ensure Microsoft Azure discovery prerequisites are met before enabling the pattern.
    • Activate the Azure Databricks Workspace pattern to begin discovery; note that upgrades will reset to the latest pattern version but retain activation status.
    • Configure discovery schedules appropriately, especially when working with Azure GovCloud environments, to ensure accurate data collection.
    • Use the populated CMDB and non-CMDB data to gain visibility into Azure Databricks resources, their configurations, operational status, and relationships for effective cloud management.

    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 - Databricks Workspace - 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 Databricks - Workspace [cmdb_azure_databricks_workspace]
    Field Description
    Kind [kind] The model or configuration type of the resource.
    Location [location] 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.
    Public Network Access [public_network_access] Indicates whether public network access is enabled for the resource.
    Resource Group [resource_group] Name of the resource group.
    SKU name [sku_name] The stock keeping unit (SKU) that defines the resource's pricing tier.
    Subscription ID [subscription_id] The subscription ID.
    Tenant ID [tenant_id] The identifier for the Azure Active Directory tenant.
    Workspace ID [workspace_id] The unique identifier for the workspace associated with the resource.
    Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] table.

    Data stored in CMDB tables

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

    Table 2. Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]
    Field Description
    Install Status [install_status] Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed.
    Location [location] 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.
    Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational.
    Resource type [resource_type] Type of resource. The value is set to microsoft.databricks/workspaces.

    CI relationships

    The pattern creates these relationships to support discovery.

    CI Relationship CI
    Resource Group [cmdb_ci_resource_group] Contains::Contained by Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]
    Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource] Hosted on::Hosts Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter]
    Azure Databricks - Workspace [cmdb_azure_databricks_workspace] References Cloud Resource [cmdb_ci_cmp_resource]

    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.
