It is part of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application designed to find AWS services and populate relevant configuration management database (CMDB) and non-CMDB tables with detailed instance data. This capability helps maintain an accurate and up-to-date view of these database instances for operational and asset management purposes. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Pattern Activation:** The discovery pattern for Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB is disabled by default and must be enabled. Activation or deactivation of patterns does not count as a customization and patterns reset to the latest predefined versions after upgrades while retaining active status. * **AWS Discovery Prerequisites:** Customers must verify AWS discovery prerequisites and ensure relevant resources are removed from the Resource Inclusion List to prevent duplicate entries. * **GovCloud Support:** Discovery supports AWS GovCloud by requiring specific datacenter URLs when configuring AWS service accounts. * **Data Population:** The pattern populates both CMDB and non-CMDB tables. Non-CMDB tables provide extended inventory details while CMDB tables hold core configuration data. * **Tag Collection:** AWS resource tags are collected and stored in the Key Value \[cmdbkeyvalue\] table for metadata management. * **CI Relationships:** The pattern establishes relationships linking Timestream instances to AWS datacenters and underlying cloud databases, supporting comprehensive service mapping. ## Data Details **Non-CMDB Table \[cmdbawstimestreamforinfluxdbdatabaseinstance\]** stores: * Instance name, status, and Amazon Resource Name (ARN) * Configuration attributes such as instance type and storage type * References to underlying cloud database configuration items **CMDB Table \[cmdbciclouddatabase\]** stores: * Instance name and operational status * Install status and unique ARN identifier * Resource type set as AWS::Timestream::InfluxDBInstance **Tag Data in \[cmdbkeyvalue\]** includes: * Tag names and their corresponding values collected from AWS resources ## Practical Benefits By leveraging this discovery pattern, ServiceNow customers can automate the detection and mapping of Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB Database Instances, ensuring accurate visibility into their AWS database infrastructure. This supports effective configuration management, operational monitoring, and compliance with organizational policies across cloud environments, including AWS GovCloud. 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-timestream-influxdb-db-instance__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-timestream-influxdb-db-instance__activating-disabled-pattern-not-customization} Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud : Discovering AWS GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an AWS service account. For more information, see [Create AWS service accounts](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CvTA68TY3ph_FRR49RbdPg "Create AWS service accounts on the ServiceNow AI Platform to access your AWS account during AWS discovery."). Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables. ## Data stored in non-CMDB tables {#aws-timestream-influxdb-db-instance__section_aq4_qkq_hfc} Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - Timestream for InfluxDB Database Instance - 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-timestream-influxdb-db-instance__section_aq4_qkq_hfc__entry__2} | Field | Description | |-|-| | Name \[name\] | The name assigned to the InfluxDB database instance. | | Status \[status\] | The current state or health of the InfluxDB database instance. | | Configuration Item \[configuration_item\] | References the Cloud DataBase \[cmdb_ci_cloud_database\] table. | | DB Instance Type \[db_instance_type\] | The compute and memory configuration type for the InfluxDB instance. | | DB Storage Type \[db_storage_type\] | The storage class or type used for the InfluxDB instance. | | Object Id \[object_id\] | The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the InfluxDB instance. | [Table 1.
