Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds Azure Hosts 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 {#azure-host-pattern__section_rpj_fj2_bgc}

Verify the Azure discovery prerequisites section in [Microsoft Azure Cloud components discovery using patterns](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/JeDZ0tlC9eLF5fei5qSv3w "Discovery uses multiple patterns to discover components of the Microsoft Azure 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.").

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#azure-host-pattern__section_ggp_ql2_bgc}

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Azure - Host (LP) pattern.
