## Summary of AWS Global Accelerator pattern-based discovery

The AWS Global Accelerator pattern-based discovery in ServiceNow enables automated identification and mapping of AWS Global Accelerator resources within your cloud environment.
This functionality is part of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application, allowing ServiceNow customers to efficiently populate both CMDB and non-CMDB tables with accurate AWS Global Accelerator data.

## Prerequisites and Setup

* **AWS discovery prerequisites:** Ensure all AWS discovery prerequisites are met as detailed in the Amazon AWS Cloud components discovery documentation.
* **Resource Inclusion List:** Verify that the AWS Global Accelerator resource is not listed in the Resource Inclusion List (sacloudinventoryresourcewhitelist) to avoid duplicate discovery entries.
* **Pattern activation:** The AWS Global Accelerator discovery pattern is disabled by default. Enable this pattern via the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application. With Visibility Content version 6.28.0 or later, enabling/disabling patterns is streamlined and does not count as customization, preserving update compatibility.

## Data Handling and Tables

The discovery pattern populates data into both non-CMDB and CMDB tables for comprehensive resource management:

* **Non-CMDB Tables:** Running the *Amazon AWS - Global Accelerator - Extended Inventory (LP)* pattern populates non-CMDB AWS-specific tables accessible via All \> Configuration \> AWS in ServiceNow. These tables provide detailed inventory information about Global Accelerator resources.
* **CMDB Tables:** The same pattern populates key CMDB tables, primarily the `cmdbcicmpresource` table, which stores resource identifiers, names, types (set as `AWS::GlobalAccelerator::Accelerator`), install status, and operational status.

## Key Configuration Item (CI) Details

* **Global Accelerator Table (`cmdbawsglobalacceleratoraccelerator`):** Contains fields such as the unique Amazon Resource Name (ARN), resource name, operational status, enabled state, and links to corresponding CMDB cloud resources.
* **Cloud Resource Table (`cmdbcicmpresource`):** Stores detailed CI data including ARN, resource name, type, install status, and operational status.
* **CI Relationships:** The pattern establishes relationships reflecting hosting and reference connections between AWS Global Accelerator resources, cloud resources, and cloud service accounts, ensuring complete topology mapping.

## AWS Tag Discovery

The discovery pattern also collects AWS tags associated with Global Accelerator resources and stores them in the `cmdbkeyvalue` table, capturing tag names and values for enhanced resource categorization and management.  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS 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 {#aws-global-accelerator__selection_ipy_53n_jfc}

Verify the AWS discovery prerequisites
:   For more information, see the prerequisites section in [Amazon AWS Cloud components discovery using patterns](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nnBwzYmMo_kpTZpG3y5~xQ "Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns uses patterns to discover components of the Amazon AWS Cloud deployment during horizontal discovery. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

Remove resources from the Resource Inclusion List table
:   Verify that the relevant resource isn't listed in the Resource Inclusion List \[sa_cloud_inventory_resource_whitelist\] table to avoid duplicate discovery. For more information on removing resources from the Resource
    Inclusion List, see [Amazon Web Services (AWS) Resource Inventory](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/U2bwxjeyIbyEXySOOJQkYA "The ServiceNow Discovery and Service Mapping applications can find and map the AWS resources available by AWS Config Service. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

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](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/R5W5GP640V_5uNIhVNRPCw "If you want to use a pattern for discovery that's disabled by default, activate it manually.").{#aws-global-accelerator__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization}
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

## Data stored in non-CMDB tables {#aws-global-accelerator__section_aq4_qkq_hfc}

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - Global Accelerator - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

You can review the non-CMDB
AWS tables by navigating to AllConfigurationAWS. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.  
{#aws-global-accelerator__section_aq4_qkq_hfc__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Object Id \[object_id\] | The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the Global Accelerator resource. |
| Name \[name\] | The name assigned to the AWS Global Accelerator resource. |
| Status \[status\] | The current operational state of the Global Accelerator. |
| Configuration Item \[configuration_item\] | References the Cloud Resource \[cmdb_ci_cmp_resource\] table. |
| Is Enabled \[is_enabled\] | Indicates whether the Global Accelerator is enabled or disabled. |
[Table 1. AWS Global Accelerator \[cmdb_aws_global_accelerator_accelerator\]]

## Data stored in CMDB tables

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - Global Accelerator - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.  
{#aws-global-accelerator__entry__14}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Object ID \[object_id\] | The ARN uniquely identifying the Global Accelerator resource. |
| Name \[name\] | The name assigned to the AWS Global Accelerator resource. |
| Resource type \[resource_type\] | Type of resource. The value is set to AWS::GlobalAccelerator::Accelerator. |
| 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. |
[Table 2. Cloud Resource \[cmdb_ci_cmp_resource\]]

## CI relationships

The Amazon AWS - Global Accelerator - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern creates these relationships to support AWS Global Accelerator discovery.  
{#aws-global-accelerator__entry__27}

| CI | Relationship | CI |
|-|-|-|
| Cloud Resource \[cmdb_ci_cmp_resource\] | Hosted on::Hosts | Cloud Service Account \[cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account\] |
| AWS Global Accelerator \[cmdb_aws_global_accelerator_accelerator\] | References | Cloud Resource \[cmdb_ci_cmp_resource\] |

## AWS tag discovery {#aws-global-accelerator__section_ezc_jwt_jfc}

The pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value \[cmdb_key_value\] table. {#aws-global-accelerator__table_axq_spc_y2c__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Key \[key\] | Tag name. |
| Value \[value\] | Tag value. |
